  • Mailboxes should be installed at a height of at least 48" from the ground to the bottom of the box.

  • Posts must be constructed of wood, plastic, or lightweight metal that can break away if struck. Avoid using heavy steel or concrete posts.

  • The Town is not liable for damage to mailboxes or posts unless directly hit by town equipment and properly placed per the guidelines.

  • It is the responsibility of property owners to ensure their mailbox is securely installed and maintained in accordance with these specifications.
