What does the NEC code (meaning a safety ground and not the more expansive proper lightning dissipation) for minimal grounding of a tower?

I need to get the rural county building inspectors out to look at my towers and want to show them something that they will have seen before with respect to a basic safety ground. From what I understand locally that means a pair of ground rods in a configuration like what would be required at a house for the mains entry.

To that end I am unsure what the height of the ground rod should be in the NEC context? Is the connection wire/rod joint to be made above grade, even with grade or below grade?
