I know that the BIG multi-op contest stations and a few others on this
list have ham towers that exceed 200 feet. Is it a big deal to register,
is it costly to register, is it difficult to maintain the marking and
lighting?

Prior to buying this country QTH, I checked to see if the six dirt strips
within the 3-4 miles were 'real' FAA airports.
They were not so I believe notification was not required.  However the usual
FAA height restrictions apply.

Here's the website that will give you an idea of how high you'll be able to
go for a 'no notice' condition:

If you have to file and get an FAA determination, you can do it on-line and
there is no charge.
FAA determinations can take as long as 90-days.
