[TowerTalk] Tower and Property Tax

[Mike Fahmie]

I recently took out a building permit to erect a 72' crankup tower.  Not long afterward, I received a letter from my county tax assessor, he had been notified that a building permit had been issued and was inquiring into the details of my 'new construction'. A form with multiple choice questions was provided.  Naturally, 'Ham Radio Tower' was not one of the available choices so I simply wrote it in the comments section and submitted the form.

Dying to find out whether the county decides that the tower increased or decreased my property value!  Could be great ammunition against neighbors who might argue that a tower, nextdoor, would lower their property value.
