Requirements for Multi-Family Mailboxes in CO

Mailbox regulations in Colorado are primarily governed by the United States Postal Service (USPS) standards, local municipal codes and specific requirements for multifamily dwellings.

It's essential to consult with local authorities or the local postmaster to comply with any additional regulations or standards specific to your area.

  • Placement and Height
    Mailboxes in Colorado must be installed 6 to 8 inches back from the curb or road edge, with the bottom of the mailbox or mail entry point positioned 41 to 45 inches above the ground or road surface.
  • Address Visibility
    Each mailbox must clearly display the address number, with numerals at least 1 inch high, placed on the front or flag side for visibility.
  • Cluster Box Units (CBUs)
    For new construction or major renovations, USPS requires the use of STD-4C Horizontal Mailboxes or Cluster Box Units (CBUs). The highest tenant lock must be no more than 67 inches above the finished floor and the lowest must be at least 28 inches above the finished floor.
  • Parcel Locker Ratio
    In multi-family housing, there must be at least one parcel locker for every five mailbox compartments in new installations.
  • Mailbox Supports
    CDOT’s mailbox support standard requires supports using steel pipe (e.g., 1¼″ diameter) with angle connectors, mounted with correct anchoring.
  • Mailbox Placement
    Supports shall adhere to CDOT’s standard spacing and mounting requirements. Supports should not impede sidewalk or roadway clearance.
  • Locking & Parcel Delivery
    Locking mailboxes are permitted if USPS‑approved. Deposit slots must accept letters and unfolded Priority envelopes. CBUs must comply with parcel locker rules under STD‑4C.
  • ADA Compliance
    In centralized installations, at least one tenant compartment must be no higher than 48 inches AFF. Parcel lockers must start at least 15 inches above the floor. Arrow‑locks should fall between 36 and 48 inches AFF.
  1. Site-Constructed Single-Family Developments
    Developers must coordinate with the USPS during the design phase, as centralized mail delivery with secure parcel lockers is the standard for new communities. If new homes are within one block of existing ones, they may adopt the same delivery method pending USPS review; otherwise, current centralized delivery standards apply.
  2. Mobile or Trailer Home Developments
    Permanent developments must have permanent lot assignments, public road maintenance and typically use centralized, curbside or sidewalk delivery as determined by USPS. Transient developments receive mail at a single USPS-approved location, with park staff handling internal distribution.
  3. Apartment Communities
    Use USPS-approved 4C centralized mailbox units with at least one parcel locker per five mailboxes, installed near main entrances and accessible to carriers. Outdoor units require USPS approval, must avoid streets or sidewalks and include a canopy with lighting and weather protection.
  4. Student Housing & Off-Campus Dormitories
    USPS delivers mail in bulk to a designated representative for distribution within dormitories, with no individual mailbox delivery provided. Dormitories—defined by shared living spaces—require early coordination with a USPS Growth Manager and may need named designees to accept mail.

Fastest Growing Multi-Family Property Investments in Colorado

Multi-family development in Colorado continues to surge, especially around Denver, Aurora, Boulder and the northern corridor. Developers are focusing on high-density urban infill, transit-oriented residential projects and mixed-use developments with residential, retail and amenity spaces. This growth emphasizes the need for centralized mailbox infrastructure designed to serve dense, modern communities.

Other Colorado cities are also making major strides in the multi-family sector:

  • Fort Collins’ multi-family development is driven by population growth and proximity to Boulder.
  • Colorado Springs is expanding with new apartment communities as the city grows eastward.
  • Greeley is showing an increased demand for affordable housing near commuter routes.

As Colorado’s urban areas grow, U.S. Mail Supply supplies USPS-approved mailbox systems engineered for multi-unit environments.
