Who owns the towers in Benzie County
16 different registrants own the 23 structures. One is registered to an individual or family trust, whose name this site withholds.

Height and age
The median structure here stands 199 feet, 26 feet shorter than the Michigan median, typical of denser areas where more, shorter sites fill in coverage. The tallest is a guyed tower near Honor at 500 feet, built in 1999. More than in any other decade, 39% were built in the 1990s.
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.
