Who owns the towers in La Plata County
15 different registrants own the 22 structures. One is registered to an individual or family trust, whose name this site withholds.

Height and age
The median structure here stands 147 feet, 17 feet taller than the Colorado median — a sign of broadcast and rural coverage towers rather than short suburban sites. The tallest is a tower near Breen at 400 feet, built in 1983. Most 55% were built in the 2000s.
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.
