[TowerTalk] TOWER PERMIT

Sun Apr 6 14:05:32 EDT 2008

I have the same problem here in WA State (rural area, way out in the County, not inside of any City limits.) I have a US Towers TS-472 (motorized, with the raising fixture.) I wrote to the County so I could make sure that no constuction permit was necessary. I had gotten a verbal "not necessary" from them when I first bought this place about four years ago, but I decided that I'd better actually get that in writing. They replied in a letter that a permit is required, and gave me their number to call. I called and found out that as part of the permit they need the foundation drawings, and that CA drawings are not sufficient - they need WA State. Doesn't look good.....
