Who owns the towers in Forsyth County
44 different registrants own the 141 structures. Owner names are the registrant's legal entity as filed with the FCC; the large tower companies file under many subsidiary names, which this site groups into families where the brand is in the name or listed in the company's SEC filings.
Height and age
The median structure here stands 217 feet, 38 feet shorter than the North Carolina median, typical of denser areas where more, shorter sites fill in coverage. The tallest is a tower near Kernersville at 470 feet, built in 2001. More than in any other decade, 46% 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.
