As I read it, every light needs to be verified operational every 24
hours by visual or automatic means and
when a top light is out only 30 minutes is allowed to notify the FAA
from failure, and re-notification is required if not fixed prior to the
NOTAM expiring plus
record keeping for two years of every inspection and notification.
It is not specified, but my guess is the FAA takes a dim view of lights
out for more than a few days. ;)
Plus painting and repainting when faded.
You REALLY have to want to go higher than 200 ft! Quite a hassle unless
the tower is exempted.

I know that the BIG multi-op contest stations and a few others on this
list have ham towers that exceed 200 feet. Is it a big deal to register,
is it costly to register, is it difficult to maintain the marking and
lighting?

Prior to buying this country QTH, I checked to see if the six dirt strips
within the 3-4 miles were 'real' FAA airports.
They were not so I believe notification was not required. However the usual
FAA height restrictions apply.

Here's the website that will give you an idea of how high you'll be able to
go for a 'no notice' condition:

If you have to file and get an FAA determination, you can do it on-line and
there is no charge.
FAA determinations can take as long as 90-days.
