#3 of 46 SC counties · 191 structures

Cell towers in Horry County, SC

The FCC registry lists 191 constructed antenna structures in Horry County, 6% of South Carolina's 3,407 — one of the three most in the state.

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.
