Requirements for Multi-Family Mailboxes in OH

Mailbox regulations in Ohio 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 Ohio 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
    Breakaway supports, such as a 4x4 wooden post or a 2" steel pipe, are recommended across Ohio. According to ODOT, posts must be buried no more than 24" deep and designed to give way on impact to reduce safety hazards.
  • Mailbox Placement
    Most municipalities follow national USPS placement guidelines: 41–45 inches in height and 6–8 inches behind the curb. Posts should not block sidewalks or extend into the road.
  • Locking & Parcel Delivery
    USPS-approved locking mailboxes are allowed with deposit slots sized for regular mail and unfolded Priority envelopes. CBUs and 4C units must include parcel lockers compliant with USPS STD-4C sizing and ratio rules.
  • ADA Compliance
    At least one mailbox compartment must be installed no higher than 48 inches from the finished floor. Parcel lockers must be no lower than 15 inches. Arrow locks should be mounted between 36 and 48 inches.
  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 Ohio

Ohio is seeing steady growth in multi-family development, especially in metro areas like Dayton and the surrounding communities. Developers are focusing on walkable neighborhoods, mixed-use corridors and infill sites near employment hubs and transit. Rising demand for rental housing, along with continued in-migration and economic investment, is driving strong activity across the state.

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

  • Columbus leads the state with strong downtown revitalization and a surge in mixed-use, high-density apartment projects.
  • Cleveland continues its multi-family rebound with activity focused on lakefront redevelopment and urban infill.
  • Cincinnati is expanding multi-family options across downtown and surrounding neighborhoods, including a growing number of Class A properties.
