Where online can I find regulations about placement of rural mailboxes?

Question

I tried usps.com but couldn't find the answer; if you refer me to this site, please recommend a specific page.

Also, I'd rather not ask my letter carrier.

Thanks in advance for your ideas.

Answer 1

I was going to give you the USPS.com but you have to know where to go for the regulations.  I will try to find it, then get back to you.  We have ours 5' from the side of our driveway and right on the line where the grass reaches the side of the road.  You may find that you will have to put it with other mailboxes if there are lots of people living around you.  I'll get back to  you on the height

go to usps.com/faqs/postalstore-faqs.htm.  Then click on mail receptacles in the left hand column. go to questions 21-30 and it will have policies for curbside mailboxes.  the height is 41-45" from the ground

hope this helps

Answer 2

Check out your neighbor's and do the same.  You should call the Post Office because they handle the rural route and would know the rules.

Answer 3

Call your homes association or city for those guidelines
