[TowerTalk] Advice on tower restrictions possible new homepurchase

[Wayne Kline]

my .02     Having helped get Building/structure permits in three different states PA,NJ,DE.

I have found its unlikely  At least in my experience  dealing with Township or City  permit offices.

A few had the blank expression when  " Radio Tower " was inserted in  line # ( description of structure)

  You have to do your due diligence.. As for Realtors ...  = salesman ... some go the extra  mile to insure  you concern .. My present location  we had a stipulation in the agreement of sale   requiring the ability to obtain

building permits for multi towers  up to 150 ft.


   YMMV

This is all good advice and very true regarding getting three different
answers from three people. I would not ask anything until I read the
building codes or had an attorney look at them. Don't most counties and
cities have the building codes online?

    Sounds like fun. I would certainly recommend my UP  THE TOWER book.
It's got 2 chapters on the legal implications. championradio.com  for more
info.

    But the first thing I would suggest is going to  city/county hall and
getting a copy of the building regs. Then you'll know  EXACTLY what the
building codes want. Of course this is in addition to any  CC&R's that
apply.
In
the case of farm country in Kansas, it's probably a  non-issue.

    The problem with asking the building department  questions is that they
probably haven't encountered a tower application  before. And my experience
has been that if you ask 3 people in the building  department for answers,
you'll likely get 2-3 different answers.
