Mailbox Policy

A mailbox damaged by the impact of plowed snow or ice shall be replaced or repaired by the mailbox owner and at the owner's expense. When a mailbox is hit by a plow and damaged, the incident is subject to the county's policy.

When placing a new mailbox or changing the location, please install a mailbox on a swinging arm. This will reduce the chances of damage done by snowplows, as they will push out of the way.

Contact the U.S. Postal Service for instructions as to installing a mailbox. They will tell you the height and distance off the road you should place the main pole or post.
