Requirements for Multi-Family Mailboxes in TN

Mailbox regulations in Tennessee 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 Tennessee 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
    According to the Tennessee Department of Transportation, posts must be stable but designed to bend or break away when struck. Galvanized steel or treated wood posts are commonly used for curbside installations.
  • Mailbox Placement
    Centralized mailboxes, such as CBUs or 4C enclosures, must be placed in locations accessible to postal carriers and residents without blocking sidewalks, roads or fire lanes.
  • Locking & Parcel Delivery
    Locking mailbox units must be USPS-approved and meet specifications for slot dimensions, parcel compartment access and arrow lock integration.
  • ADA Compliance
    Mailboxes in common areas must provide access to at least one tenant compartment no higher than 48 inches above the finished floor. Parcel lockers must be installed between 15–48 inches AFF to meet accessibility codes.
  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 Tennessee

Tennessee’s multi-family construction boom continues in key metro areas like Nashville, Chattanooga and Murfreesboro. Developers are focusing on infill housing, transit-adjacent sites and amenity-rich neighborhoods to meet rising demand for rental units. With continued population growth and economic momentum, the state remains a top market for new multi-unit housing.

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

  • Knoxville is expanding its apartment inventory near the University of Tennessee and downtown districts.
  • Clarksville is attracting development with its proximity to Fort Campbell and a growing population of renters.
  • Franklin and Brentwood are seeing new mixed-use developments catering to high-end tenants and professionals.

U.S. Mail Supply provides compliant mailbox systems for developers and property managers across Tennessee, helping support growing housing demand.
