[Towertalk] Building Permit or Not

[Alan KI7WO]

Hi Guys,

This question is related to putting up a tower (30'/50' crank-up
tilt-over).

Do I ask for a Building Permit from the City (big hassle with Special Use
permit and Zoning Variance)??  or just put it up and wait to see who
screams first.

Have already talked to all the neighbors within 200 feet of the property
lines and they all say they have no problem with the idea.  Just can't
decide if it is worth all the paper work.  

All the "old timers" in nearby towns all say they "just put theirs up",
but that has been many years ago.

It has been said "Easier to ask for Forgiveness than Permission".

Anyone with thoughts on the subject.  Missouri is one of those States
that has not signed off yet on the PRB-1.

TU,
