[Towertalk] Building Permit or Not

[Terry Dunlap]

Another concern to me would be my homeowner's insurance coverage.  I can't 
imagine
that the insurance company would feel obligated to pay on a claim for a 
tower that
fell if that tower installation didn't follow whatever 
requirements....permits,
inspections, whatever the local government had.
