Who owns the towers in Lea County

45 different registrants own the 118 structures. One is registered to an individual or family trust, whose name this site withholds.

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.
