Who owns the towers in Taylor County
44 different registrants own the 96 structures. 6 are registered to individuals or family trusts, whose names this site withholds. 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 200 feet, 47 feet shorter than the Texas median, typical of denser areas where more, shorter sites fill in coverage. The tallest is a tower near Merkel at 1069 feet, built in 1968. More than in any other decade, 35% were built in the 2000s.
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.
