Requirements for Multi-Family Mailboxes in MI

Mailbox regulations in Michigan 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 Michigan 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
    The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) recommends breakaway-style mailbox posts made from 4×4 wooden beams or hollow steel to reduce collision hazards. Heavy or unyielding supports (e.g., concrete or steel pipes) are prohibited along public roadways.
  • Mailbox Placement
    Curbside mailboxes should be placed 6–8 inches from the edge of the pavement and must face the direction of oncoming traffic.
  • Locking & Parcel Delivery
    Lockable mailboxes must allow mail carriers to insert letters and standard-size parcels without a key. Centralized systems must provide one parcel locker per five units.
  • ADA Compliance
    Multi-family mailbox installations must meet ADA requirements. At least one mailbox must be no more than 48 inches high, and parcel lockers must be at least 15 inches from the floor.
  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 Michigan

Michigan’s multi-family housing market remains active, particularly in cities like Lansing, Kentwood and more. Developers continue targeting high-demand areas near transit, universities and business hubs, building a mix of luxury, affordable and workforce housing.
