Property Owners: Are You Leaving Money on the Table?
Navigating cell tower agreements is complex. Tower companies offer "standard" leases that overwhelmingly favor their interests - often leaving thousands of dollars on the table while granting excessive rights to your property.
At Daughtrey Law Firm, Nixon Daughtrey combines deep industry knowledge with legal expertise to help property owners like you secure better terms, higher compensation, and stronger protections.
Our clients typically see 30-60% increases in lease value and significantly improved terms that protect their land for generations.
25-30 Years
Typical cell tower lease duration - making this one of the most important property decisions you'll ever make.
Why Expert Review Matters?
- Maximum Compensation: Cell tower companies typically offer 40-60% below true market value in their initial proposals. We ensure you receive fair market rates.
- Property Protection: Standard leases grant excessive rights to access, expand equipment, and modify structures without additional compensation.
- Future-Proof Terms: We build in proper escalation clauses, technology upgrade fees, and protections against equipment expansion.
- Liability Reduction: Proper indemnification and insurance requirements protect you from potential issues related to the tower installation.
Red Flags in Cell Tower Leases
If your lease contains any of these terms, you should have it professionally reviewed immediately:
Automatic renewal clauses that extend without your approval
Unlimited access rights to your entire property
Ability to expand equipment without additional payment
Right to assign the lease to any party without your consent
Annual increases below 3% (or no increases at all)
No additional fees for co-location (adding other carriers)
Insufficient property restoration requirements
Vague descriptions of leased area and access routes
Most "standard" leases contain multiple issues that can cost you thousands of dollars over the lease term.
