All commercial radio and television transmitting towers have been classified and assessed as personal property; therefore, all privately owned residential high radio or television masts, whether for sending or receiving signals are to be considered personal property and not included in the calculation of the real property assessment.

The existence of such towers should be noted on the Assessor's worksheet for the purpose of identification.
