When I moved to Western Kentucky (Marshall County) eight years ago, I found a 15 acres plot with a very acceptable house at a price I could afford.  I then went to the County Court House in Benton, and asked what type of permit I would need to put up a tower.  The lady looked at me with a quizzical look and said she did not know as no one had ever asked that before.  She went and got a fellow from an office in the back and I asked again.  He informed me that the ONLY structures that required permits were commercial buildings and multi-family dwellings.

I immediately called the realtor and made an offer.  The property turned out to be 16.78 acres after the survey and I have all the room I need for towers.


Point of all that - If you don't have to live downtown you can still find property that will suit our somewhat land intensive hobby.
