Towers are almost always covered. If they're not "other structures"
like in your case, they would be covered under the Personal Property section.
It's mostly a matter of definition between you and your insurance company.
It's always a good idea to check like you did just to make sure you're
covered.

That's because the county considers them to be 'personal property'.
Don't forget that your insurance also covers damage to your tower and
antennas from storms, lightning strikes, etc.
