High voltage transmission lines are acceptable to FHA.
Quote:
The appraiser must indicate whether the dwelling or related property improvements is located within the easement serving a high-voltage transmission line, radio/TV transmission tower, cell phone tower, microwave relay dish or tower, or satellite dish (radio, TV cable, etc). |
Additionally:
1. If the dwelling is within the easement, the DE Underwriter is responsible for obtaining a letter from owner or operator of the tower, not the appraiser.
2. If the dwelling is outside the easement, no further action is required of the appraiser or DE Underwriter.
