Mailbox Info 2024

NOTE: If your mailbox post is damaged, we do not advise rebuilding it using the current design because the new post design will be finalized in late fall 2024. 

As the Highland Village community grew, the builder provided a mailbox/post to each Lot owner when the property sale closed. However, while the posts looked the same from afar, closer inspection showed that there were differences in the posts depending on when the post was built (1987-1995). Design requirements imposed by U.S.P.S. and the City of Woodbury, required the Association to look for design alternatives. 

After meeting with the Woodbury U.S.P.S. branch in Summer 2023, we looked for design alternatives. Our new design changes the location of the mailbox supports, raises the mailbox height, provides a 10-inch clearance beneath the mailbox, and shortens the newspaper box length. The placement of the new post depends upon the 811 utility markings. Many Highland Village Lots have utilities installed close the current placement of the current mailbox post. However, the biggest change to the mailbox post design is that owners whose mailboxes are clustered will now have their mailbox mounted on a single post, multi-mailbox design. This change will mitigate future costs associated with maintenance and replacement. Lot owners whose mailboxes are not clustered will continue to have a single post, single mailbox using the new design.

The projected cost for this change is approximately $332 per Lot (as of 8-28-2024). This cost is likely to increase because of the delay between the bid and our ability to collect the funds needed to start the project. More information about the project is posted on the Mailbox FAQs page.
