Am I exempt from zoning if I own a farm?
Properties over 5 acres and zoned A-1 Agricultural are considered exempt, and properties less than 5 acres may be considered exempt if a site plan is submitted. It is best to contact the zoning office.
Do I need a zoning permit to replace or upgrade antennas on an existing communication tower?
No, you do not need a permit for replacing antennas, doing upgrades, or routine maintenance. The only time that a permit is required is when a new tower is going to be constructed.
