I am looking to purchase a used Crankup Tower, but what like to know if I may run into problems obtaining a building permit to install it. We live in an area that allows for the installation of radio towers. We have recently moved from CA to the, county of Ankeny, IA. If anyone can shed light on this, I would really appreciate it before I purchase something that perhaps cannot be re-used! Anyone with experience willing to share their lessons learned will be helpful.
I expect to be required to obtain a new wet stamp from a civil engineer, which I hope is not difficult. I am currently looking for a self supporting 50'-60' crankup tower.

Used Crank-up towers - Permitting Issues or Challenges
Re: Used Crank-up towers - Permitting Issues or Challenges
If Iowa has townships, then check their rules . or county rules if no townships like Minn or Wis.
second....is this location on a couple acre lot among other houses or some farm stead with a few acres. If its a farm stead and no one around, just put it up, farmers can install windmills or silos as they please. I have 30 acre farm with the buildings. No rules about towers on farms..
