USPS requirements for mailbox posts and stands - “these can change so check with your local post office or local bylaws”.
Regulations are only if you are going to have mail delivery curbside. If the mailbox is used for parcel and newspaper delivery closer to your front door they do not apply. Except in cases of a business that gets mail delivered to their door then the size and numbering would apply not the parts about placement, think of your sidewalk as the road and you should be ok.
Mailboxes should be placed on the right hand side of the road in the direction that the mail carrier is travels. They must also be in compliance with state and local bylaws and highway regulations. All curbside mailboxes whether they are post or recessed must be able to be accessed without the mail carrier having to leave their vehicle and have the box or house number displayed with at least 1” high numbers.
The post or other support for these locking mailboxes must be neat and of adequate strength and size. The post may not represent effigies or caricatures that tend to disparage or ridicule any person. Every post mounted mailbox that is placed on the edge of a road must have the following address information, box number, if used, inscribed in contrasting color in neat letters and numerals at least 1 inch high on the side of the box visible to the carrier’s regular approach, or on the door if boxes are grouped.
A house number if street names and house numbers have been assigned by local authorities, If the box is on a different street from the customer’s residence, the street name and house number must be inscribed on the box. A receptacle for newspaper delivery by private carriers may be attached to the post of a curbside mailbox if it doesn’t touch the mailbox or use any part of the post mount mailbox for support. Can’t interfere with the delivery of mail, obstruct the view of the mailbox flag, or present a hazard to carrier or vehicle.
