[Towertalk] Building Permit or Not

[Eddy Avila]

Just remember, governments have the legal authority to force you to remove 
structures built without proper permits and they can levy fines as well!!!

Here in Placer County, CA -- tower less than 200' don't need permits....at 
least that was the deal about 10 years ago. A bigger problem could be your 
anal, control-freak neighbors that go and complain.

Good luck...73 /ed
