Cell towers in Jefferson County, AL

The FCC registry lists 266 constructed antenna structures in Jefferson County, 6% of Alabama's 4,550 — one of the three most in the state. Crown Castle owns 83 of them (31%), so a landowner here with a tower lease is more likely than not dealing with one company. The three big tower companies — American Tower, Crown Castle and SBA — hold 133 between them.

Every registered structure

Sorted tallest first. The registration number opens the FCC record, which shows the exact location and the owner's contact for the structure. A tower on your land that is not in this list is probably under 200 feet and away from airports, so it did not need registering — see why some towers aren't listed.
