Who owns the towers in Ashland County
18 different registrants own the 24 structures. 2 are registered to individuals or family trusts, whose names this site withholds.

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.
