    I wouldn't worry about. I've only run into one claims adjuster who had 
ANY experience with towers so 99% don't know anything about them anyway. 
They're real happy just to get a repair estimate from a credible tower 
company. 

    The insurance company doesn't ask for germane building permits if your 
roof blows off or your plumbing pops. 

    The insurance company's job is to fix whatever has been damaged. I've 
never been personally involved in any kind of scenario that you're alluding 
to.
