Who owns the towers in Pierce County

58 different registrants own the 192 structures. 7 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 147 feet, 19 feet taller than the Washington median — a sign of broadcast and rural coverage towers rather than short suburban sites. The tallest is a water tank near Puyallup at 694 feet, built in 1981. More than in any other decade, 40% 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.

Before answering a buyout offer, put your current rent, escalator and remaining term into the calculator to see what the rent is worth and what return the offer assumes.
