Who owns the towers in Mecosta County
24 different registrants own the 48 structures. 2 are registered to individuals or family trusts, whose names this site withholds.

Height and age
The median structure here stands 250 feet, 25 feet taller than the Michigan median — a sign of broadcast and rural coverage towers rather than short suburban sites. The tallest is a guyed tower near Barryton at 964 feet, built in 2003. More than in any other decade, 33% 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.
