You are correct that the "height" of the tower varies depending upon what is being measured. There are multiple versions of "height".
First, there is the Overall Height height of the tower also sometimes call height with appurtenances. The FCC calls this Overall Height of Tower. This would be the height of the tower to the tallest piece of equipment on the tower. This may be the lightning rod or the top of the highest antenna.
Second, there is the height of the tower itself not including any appurtenances. Generally, this is what the wireless industry considers to be "tower height". The FCC calls this Height of Structure.
Personally, I refer to the height of the tower as just the tower itself unless looking at it from an FAA standpoint.
