Cell towers in Jefferson County, KY

The FCC registry lists 206 constructed antenna structures in Jefferson County, 7% of Kentucky's 2,887 — one of the three most in the state. Crown Castle owns 62 of them (30%), 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 81 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.

If you have a tower lease in Jefferson County

Before answering a buyout offer, put your current rent, escalator and remaining term into the calculator to see what the rent is worth and what return the offer assumes.
