Does anyone know if there is a law about paint color of a mailbox post?

About a year ago, I went to my local post office and asked about regulations for mounting my new mailbox. I received a copy of one of their forms, PS4056 (The carrier leaves one of these with your mail when something is wrong with your mailbox, your mounting solution or both). They also gave me a photocopy of a handout that lists instructions for ';Curbside Mailbox Installation'; and ';Accessibility of the Mailbox';.





Reading through both of them, I noted that the photocopied handout reads ';The mounting of the box can be as varied as your imagination, but should be able to withstand the elements and daily use.'; The form reads ';Post must be neat and of adequate strength and size.';





If you want to do something very creative (one of my neighbors actually has a statue of Disney's Goofy holding their mailbox) but would feel better knowing that you won't get in trouble, visit your local post office and ask for anything they have in print regarding mounting your mailbox. More than likely they'll give you the same or similar paperwork. Good luck!Does anyone know if there is a law about paint color of a mailbox post?
Doubtful, but you should check your city's ordinances if you're planning on doing something obnoxious, lol. Plus, if you live in a subdivision, the home-owner's association probably has regulations about stuff like that.Does anyone know if there is a law about paint color of a mailbox post?
No not for local city or state but if you live in a sub division they might have a law that says what color you can paint it.
