Who owns the towers in Clay County
13 different registrants own the 19 structures. One is registered to an individual or family trust, whose name this site withholds.

Height and age
The median structure here stands 310 feet, 45 feet taller than the Kentucky median — a sign of broadcast and rural coverage towers rather than short suburban sites. The tallest is a lattice tower near Oneida at 410 feet, built in 2024. More than in any other decade, 42% 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.
