Who owns the towers in Johnson County
37 different registrants own the 70 structures. 2 are registered to individuals or family trusts, whose names this site withholds.

Height and age
The median structure here stands 159 feet, 134 feet shorter than the Kansas median, typical of denser areas where more, shorter sites fill in coverage. The tallest is a guyed tower near Olathe at 500 feet, built in 1993. More than in any other decade, 30% 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.
