Didn't need them here when I installed mine.  They redid the zoning and 
I gave the board a lot of documentation.  They exempted ham towers after 
that.  You still need a building permit.  The only real limitation here 
is setback rules for safety and you can go higher than that "with 
permission from your neighbor(s)

If your area is ever rezoned be sure to get involved, or get some 
knowledgeable hams involved.

I'm far more comfortable standing on the top plate of the 45G at 100 
feet than at 40 or 50 feet on a 25G. Although I can't feel it move I 
feel like I'm standing on a toothpick.  <:-)
