Mailbox Placement

Illustration of Mailbox Placement

Mailboxes should be installed:

in front of and on the same side of the street as your residence
so that the bottom of the box is 3-1/2 feet to 4 feet above the cartway of the road
on a semiarch or extended arm-type of support assembly, which, if struck will bend or fall away from the striking vehicle instead of severely damaging the vehicle and injuring its occupants
so that the front of the mailbox is even with the back of the curb, edge of pavement or edge of paved berm, and the base of the support shall be at least 1 and 1/2 feet from the back of the curb, edge of pavement or edge of paved berm. Support assemblies shall not interfere with drainage facilities or sidewalks
to meet the minimum requirements of the U.S. Postal Service
Chapter 112.35 (Article XI) of the Township Code addresses Mailboxes.
