The height of structures in the United States has historically been poorly documented. However the data is a matter of public record, appearing in documents maintained by the Federal Aviation Administration and Federal Communications Commission.

This list is populated heavily by antenna masts. The engineering aspects of super-tall masts are highly specialized. Only four companies erect the majority of such structures: Doty Moore Tower Services (Cedar Hill, TX); Klein Towers (Columbia, SC); LeBlanc Royal Telecom (Oakville, ON); and Stainless Inc. (North Wales, PA). The design and construction are largely governed by RS222E EIA standards. A 1000 ft (305 m) mast costs between $0.7 and $1.1 million to build, while a 2000 ft (610 m) mast costs $2.4 to $4 million. Prices generally vary depending on tower capacity and wind loading specifications.

A common misperception is that landmarks such as the Stratosphere Tower are the tallest United States structures, but they are in fact the tallest buildings. Likewise Taipei 101 is often misrepresented as the world's tallest structure, but in fact is far eclipsed by antenna towers in over a dozen states in the United States.

In the United States, the FAA and the FCC must approve all towers exceeding 200 ft (61 m) high. Furthermore, a prejudice exists against structures over 2000 ft (610 m) high. The FCC presumes them to be inconsistent with the public interest, while the FAA presumes them to be a hazard to air navigation, resulting in poor airspace usage. A significant burden of proof is placed on the applicant to show that such a structure is in the public's best interests. Only when both agencies have resolved all legal, safety, and management concerns is such an application approved.

Since 1978 the United States has maintained eleven tethered aerostats sites along the southern borders. These balloons rise to 18,000 ft (5500 m), carrying radar units for drug interdiction purposes. However since the balloons are aided by buoyancy and are not permanent they are not considered true structures.

  • Year built: 1962
  • Owner: Sinclair
  • At 2000 ft (610 m), this structure ties about a dozen others across the United States as the fifth tallest structure in the world.
• American Tower Pensacola Site
  • Height: 2000 ft (610 m)
  • Robertsdale, Alabama
  • Heaviest Tower Ever Stacked
  • 13 inch solid legs

  • Owner: U.S. Coast Guard
  • This tower puts out 1 megawatt of long-wave radio energy to help ships in the Gulf of Alaska and the North Pacific navigate. LORSTA (Loran Station) Port Clarence is currently being studied with a view toward refurbishment or replacement, and if the latter will be dismantled. The runner up in Alaska for height is the 808 ft (246 m) public telecommunications tower at Knik near Anchorage (61°25′N, 149°52′W).

[edit] Arizona

• Midwest Tower Dolan Springs
  • Height: 396.3 metres
  • Dolan Springs
  • Year built: 2000

• Chimney of Hayden Smelter
  • Height: 305 metres

• Navajo Generating Station
  • Height: 775 ft (236 m)
  • Page (36°54′12″N, 111°23′25″W)
  • Year built: 1972

  • The Navajo coal-fired power plant, generating up to 2250 MW of power, is located 4 miles (6 km) east of Page, and boasts three 775 ft (236 m) reinforced concrete chimneys. In 1991 the EPA faulted the station for producing haze around the Grand Canyon, and in 1994 a study was done to investigate demolition requirements. However the studies never reached fruition. The tallest radio tower is the 650 ft (198 m) KOAZ-FM (97.5) tower in Marana near Tucson.

[edit] Arkansas

  • Hoyt (39°55′22″N, 103°58′18″W)
  • Year built: 2003
  • Owner: Hunt Media Group
  • The primary reason for the tower is to get radio stations who do not have license for the Denver area to get into the Denver area (big advertising bucks). According to Raymond Morris, "I was the previous owner of the land on which the tower was located. I was trying to negotiate a lease with them, but the going got tough and I ended up selling 367.3 acres [1.5 km²] from a larger piece of land, (4000 feet x 4000 feet) [1.2 by 1.2 km]."
