USPS Mailbox Requirements
During the development stage of a new subdivision, it is the responsibility of the customer (developers and builders) to provide the necessary mail receptacle equipment. The City of Raleigh does not allow encroachments in the public right-of-way for mail receptacles. The developer or builder may place the mail receptacle in an easement on private property, or set aside a lot that residents of the subdivision can utilize by vehicle or foot to collect mail.
The USPS revision to Modes of Delivery and Delivery Equipment provides information for developers to ensure that the project will receive mail service. More information on installation requirements can be provided by the Growth Development Coordinator for the USPS.
