Who Owns Your Mailbox?
One interesting question we get asked sometimes at CJ Flag & Son is “Are mailboxes property of the city?” Actually, no, a residential mailbox is not the property of the city -- but the mailbox isn’t exactly the property of the homeowner, either. Once you purchase and install a mailbox by your curb or on the wall by your door that meets US Postal Service regulations, that residential mailbox effectively becomes the property of the federal government and allows you to participate in the sending and receiving of mail via the USPS.
There are good and not-so-good sides to having your mailbox become Federal property: The good thing is that since the mailbox is considered property of the federal government, it is a federal violation to vandalize mailboxes or to “injure, deface or destroy any mail deposited in them” (Title 18, United States Code, Section 1705).
On the other hand, since residential mailboxes are considered federal property, the government can also require that the mailbox meet certain requirements as far as mailbox design, placement and usage. If you don’t meet those requirements, the USPS does not have to provide mail service.
Fortunately, since the homeowner is the one who is responsible for buying and installing the mailbox, the homeowner is also the one who gets to choose the mailbox design and size -- and quality. Whether you decide to buy an inexpensive mailbox from your local retail store or a high-quality decorative mailbox from CJ Flag & Son has a lot to do with how much upkeep you have to do on your mailbox to keep it up-to-code.
Installing a better quality mailbox could keep you from having to replace it as soon. Plus, you can choose a style of a decorative mailbox that fits the architectural look of your home. The size and shape are up to you, and you can even choose a locking style of mailbox if you have concerns about the security of your mail.
