Who owns the towers in Franklin County
17 different registrants own the 21 structures. One is registered to an individual or family trust, whose name this site withholds.

Height and age
The median structure here stands 305 feet, 58 feet taller than the Texas median — a sign of broadcast and rural coverage towers rather than short suburban sites. The tallest is a tower near Purley at 925 feet, built in 1987. More than in any other decade, 29% 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.
