[TowerTalk] Tower and Property Tax

[David Thompson]

I have had this tower at 3 locations in 2 states and have never seen the 
tower reduce my property evaluation or those of near by houses.  In fact, 
the properties increased at slightly above the rate of nearby houses.

Taxes are based on property value.  The local school board gets far more 
than the county.

I have discussed this with members of the US Congress who continue to tout 
the line about lowering property values.  This keeps them in good favor with 
Home Owners Associations who have never seen a tower they like (ham or 
cell).
