Who owns the towers in Stark County

The median structure here stands 310 feet, 50 feet taller than the North Dakota median — a sign of broadcast and rural coverage towers rather than short suburban sites. The tallest is a tower near South Heart at 649 feet, built in 1980. More than in any other decade, 37% were built in the 2010s.
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.
