Cell tower on property

[mp2277]

A cell tower on your property is not a huge money maker, or even a medium money maker. I am kind of surprised the HO said it paid his property taxes.

Friend of mine in Columbus Oh has one in a back corner of his property that generates $3500 per month. In my world $42k annually is not chump change

It's not super uncommon for a tower to have 2 or 3 "tenants" from different carriers.

Thats is not a small amount. Who decides what each placement is worth in payments to the landowner.

Maybe not huge but the three that I've encountered threw off between $12,000 and $20,000/year. To me, that's enough to make a substantial difference.

ON one of them, the owner surveyed off the tower area and kept it for himself; sold the dwelling and the remaining land. He moved away and still the tower was paying him good $$, $1,500/month.

Same goes for billboards. Some small boards on the edge of a farm 20 miles out of town might pay only $200/month. Other, large monopoles near the metro area along the freeway pay MUCH more $$, 1,000's /month.
