Overview

26 antenna structures are registered with the FCC in Bay City, TX.

Counted against 17,488 residents, that is 148.7 per 100,000 — worth reading alongside area density, since structures cluster along roads and ridgelines rather than where people sleep.

Median height here is 97 m (319 ft), compared with 76 m (248 ft) across Texas as a whole.

Lattice towers (3) and guyed masts (7) between them make up much of the register here — both are older, taller designs than the monopoles that dominate newer urban sites.

The oldest structure on file here was registered in 1956, the newest in 2024 — 68 years of build-out visible in one register.

About this data

The underlying records are the FCC's own registrations as of 2026-08-23. Every structure counted here carries a registration number you can check against the FCC directly.

The FCC Antenna Structure Registration database covers structures that require registration — generally those over 200 feet or near airports. Many small cells, rooftop antennas and short towers are not registered and will not appear here.

"Owner" is the entity that registered the structure, usually a tower company such as American Tower or Crown Castle. It does not indicate which carriers operate equipment on the structure.
