Requirements for Multi-Family Mailboxes in OR

Mailbox regulations in Oregon 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 Oregon 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
    Oregon’s Department of Transportation (ODOT) maintains standard drawings for mailbox supports. Posts must comply with crashworthy or breakaway design and follow ODOT’s standards.
  • Mailbox Placement
    Many Oregon counties (e.g., Clackamas) require mailboxes to use breakaway supports, embedded no more than 24 inches, and prohibit non-breakaway structures like masonry columns.
  • Locking & Parcel Delivery
    Locking mailboxes are allowed if USPS-approved. Deposit slots must handle daily mail and unfolded Priority envelopes. CBUs must adhere to USPS STD‑4C parcel locker and access rules.
  • ADA Compliance
    Centralized multi-family installations must provide at least one compartment ≤ 48 inches above finished floor and parcel lockers ≥ 15 inches above floor. Arrow-locks should fall 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 Oregon

Oregon’s multi-family development is strongest in the Willamette Valley and coastal regions, especially within the Portland metro area. Cities are seeing increased demand for apartments near transit corridors, job centers and university campuses. Infill and mixed-use development strategies are fueling growth in suburbs and smaller cities, bridging gap markets with efficient rental housing.

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

  • Portland–Vancouver metro leads with consistent apartment deliveries and strong demand near light rail and employment hubs.
  • The Bend–Redmond area is expanding, driven by migration and demand for outdoor lifestyle amenities.
  • Eugene–Springfield is responding to student housing needs and increased urban infill projects.

As Oregon’s housing landscape evolves, U.S. Mail Supply offers mailbox systems built for dense, high-volume residential environments, enabling secure, centralized delivery across new and growing metro areas.
