Requirements for Multi-Family Mailboxes in VA

Mailbox regulations in Virginia 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 Virginia 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
    Rigid posts like concrete or steel are discouraged near roadways. Supports must be strong enough for stability but yield if struck.
  • Mailbox Placement
    According to the Virginia Department of Transportation, centralized systems must avoid blocking sidewalks, driveways or ADA-accessible paths. Local municipalities may enforce clearance zones.
  • Locking & Parcel Delivery
    Locking mailbox compartments and parcel lockers are permitted when USPS-approved. Custom locks must comply with postal regulations.
  • ADA Compliance
    At least one mailbox per site must meet ADA reach range requirements (15–48 inches above grade). Installations must also provide clear access routes and maneuvering space for mobility devices.
  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 Virginia

Virginia’s multi-family construction market continues to grow, particularly in high-demand metro regions. Cities like Arlington, Richmond and Virginia Beach are seeing increased investment in walkable neighborhoods, mixed-use corridors and commuter-friendly developments.

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

  • Norfolk is driven by military housing demand near Naval Station Norfolk.
  • Charlottesville sees steady construction of student housing near the University of Virginia.
  • Chesapeake benefits from expanding townhome and apartment communities serving the suburban Norfolk metro.

As demand rises, centralized mail delivery remains essential for managing tenant communication and package handling in growing multi-unit environments.
