Who owns the towers in Johnson County
32 different registrants own the 89 structures. One is registered to an individual or family trust, whose name this site withholds.

Height and age
The median structure here stands 195 feet, 64 feet shorter than the Iowa median, typical of denser areas where more, shorter sites fill in coverage. The tallest is a lattice tower near Whitehall at 505 feet, built in 2024. More than in any other decade, 36% 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.
