Mailbox Installation Guidelines

The Town asks property owners to ensure that their mailboxes are the proper distance from the paved surface. A mailbox and support post should not pose a hazard to vehicles. An acceptable support post for a single mailbox would include wood posts 4″ x 4″ square or 4.5″ in diameter. Soft metal conduits which are 1.5″ to 2.5″ in diameter are also acceptable. Your letter carrier should not have to leave the pavement to put letters in your mailbox. To view U.S. Postal Services mailbox installation guidelines, click here.
