Who owns the towers in Caroline County
13 different registrants own the 31 structures. 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 270 feet, 71 feet taller than the Virginia median — a sign of broadcast and rural coverage towers rather than short suburban sites. The tallest is a guyed tower near Penola at 515 feet, built in 1998. More than in any other decade, 45% 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.
