I am currently dealing with issue with our new home. In Texas at least, no it is not against the law to block someone's mailbox if it is on a public street which most suburban homes are. It is perfectly lawful I have found for someone to continually block your mailbox and prevent you from getting your mail. There is not a thing the police or the postoffice will do about it. I have contacted our postmaster, police and city to find these answers. Unfortunately it is the tax paying home owner who is left dealing with mailbox blockers if they wish to get their mail.

∙ 12y agoWell I can tell you this...
My next door neighbor had her car parked in front of their own mailbox for several days... The mailman himself came and posted a NO Parking sign right on the post of the box. The next time the car was parked there the postman called the police and they issued a ticket. Now the lady NEVER parks in front of her mail box. Law?
The question is: when the police issued the ticket, what was the violation on the ticket. Was it for:
1. blocking the mailbox
2. no parking ordinance from the town, city etc.
3. some type of other violation that comes under the jusisdiction of the local police.
4 what exactly was the summons issued for.

∙ 9y agoAlthough it is not illegal to park in front of a mailbox, United States Postal Service regulations state that a mail carrier is not required to deliver mail where they can not reasonably access the mailbox.

∙ 15y agoIt is not against the law per se, -however- the US Postal Regulations do state that carriers do NOT have to deliver mail to obstructed residential mailboxes. You can call your postmaster, or look it up.

Can your neighbor have his mailbox in your front yard?
It is not typical or appropriate for a neighbor to have their mailbox in your front yard. Mailboxes should be placed on the owner's property, typically near the residence for easy access by the postal service. If you have concerns about the mailbox location, you should address them with your neighbor or local post office.

How much space do you need to leave on each side of the mailbox when parking?
If the mailbox is mounted on the house he must have a clear path to the mailbox. If you are mounting your mailbox on a rural road, mount it so the bottom of the mailbox is 47 inches from the surface of the road. Mount the mailbox far enough off the side of the road where it won't get hit. 12" is a good figure to use. Remember that school buses and trucks have mirrors that stick out on the right side that could hit your mailbox. If your mailbox is on a street with a curb, mount the mailbox so the bottom of the mailbox is 47" from the street. Mount the front of the mailbox 9" from the curb.
Mailbox delivered to house or street mailbox?
It depends. Some communities have mailboxes in which you take mail out of whatever mailbox you are possesing, and everybodys mailbox is right there. Others have their own mailbox sitting in front of their home. But i think the idea of delivering mail straight to the house just doesn't happen anymore,like,the milkman. So, the answer is partially neither.
