USPS Delivery Requirements

USPS Mailbox Requirements

The former process that allowed residential developers to choose between curb line and cluster box delivery (for new construction) is no longer in place. The requirements changed in April of 2012 and the United States Postal Service (USPS) now determines the type of delivery that is most efficient and appropriate for the area to be served.

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 Developers and Builders Guide provides information on installation requirements. 

To find the Growth Manager that covers your specific development’s geographic location, send an email to: delivery.growth@usps.gov, or contact your Post Office and ask to speak to either the Postmaster or the person assigned to assist developers with planning new mail service.
