Requirements for Multi-Family Mailboxes in NJ

Mailbox regulations in New Jersey 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 New Jersey 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
    Many New Jersey jurisdictions require mailbox supports to be a minimum 4″×4″ wood post or 1½–2″ standard steel pipe, embedded securely no more than 24 inches deep.
  • Mailbox Placement
    The New Jersey Department of Transportation requires the mailbox front to be a minimum of 6 inches from the curbline or road edge.
  • Locking & Parcel Delivery
    Locking mailboxes are allowed if USPS-approved. Deposit slots must accommodate regular and unfolded Priority Mail. CBUs and STD‑4C systems must adhere to parcel locker ratio and dimension rules.
  • ADA Compliance
    Multi-family installations should provide accessible reach: compartments no higher than 48 inches AFF, parcel lockers at least 15 inches AFF and arrow‑locks between 36–48 inches, in line with STD‑4C and ADA guidelines.
  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 New Jersey

New Jersey continues to attract multi-family development in areas with strong transit access, proximity to employment centers and urban revitalization initiatives. Growth is particularly strong in corridor towns between New York and Philadelphia and in suburbs undergoing redevelopment. Rising demand for rental housing is fueling new apartment, mixed-use and infill housing projects.

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

  • Jersey City is gaining high-density residential towers near PATH, light rail and waterfront areas.
  • Newark is growing through the redevelopment of urban neighborhoods and transit-oriented communities.
  • The Camden region is benefiting from regional investment and demand for cross-state commuter housing.

As New Jersey’s markets expand, U.S. Mail Supply supports developers with USPS-approved mailbox systems designed for high-density, multi-unit environments.
