Cell Site Audits
Rooftop Cell Site

If you have existing rooftop cell site leases or own a tower and sign up for our services, ASI will perform a desktop cell site audit of the leases to confirm that you are receiving what you are supposed to. This audit includes the following:

  1. LEASE PAYMENT EVALUATION: We will review each of your cell tower lease agreements and determine whether you are receiving the appropriate compensation due under the cell tower lease. You will receive a summary of the lease compensation and whether it matches that due under the lease.
  2. FAIR MARKET VALUE ASSESSMENT: We will provide a summary of how your lease compares to other leases in the area and nationwide.
  3. EQUIPMENT AND ANTENNA AUDIT: We have found that some of the wireless carriers will add equipment or expand the lease area without authorization or compensation. In some cases, this is simply a mistake, but in others, we have caught the carriers intentionally trying to avoid additional payments. Because we review leases regularly, we can review your lease and confirm what is allowed and what isn’t.
  4. TAXES AND OTHER FEES: Many leases require that the wireless carrier pay additional compensation for various taxes, electricity charges or fees. In some states, sales tax may be required on the lease payments and that may be the responsibility of the wireless tenant. ASI can review your document and confirm whether the carrier is paying their fair share of these additional responsibilities.

In the event we find that your cell tower leases are not paying what they should or that the wireless tenant has used more space or added more equipment than allowed, ASI will notify the carrier of the deficiency and help to collect any unpaid or underpaid lease payments. Alternatively, we will work with the carrier to have them remove the equipment or antennas in violation of the lease. Please note that we will receive our standard site management fee from any collected payments.

If your cell site leases come up for renewal or are on month to month or year to year terms, we will counsel you on how best to renew the leases and what the appropriate amount should be for the renewal. We will negotiate the extension with the wireless carrier on your behalf.
