Mailboxes installed along roadways are at the risk of the owner. Mailboxes damaged from lack of owner maintenance, weight of snow from plowing, or vandalism is not the responsibility of the County. Postal regulations require residents to clean snow from in front of mailboxes to allow for mail delivery. Douglas County encourages the clustering of individual mailboxes to minimize potential damage during snowstorms and to increase efficiency of mail delivery. To learn more about mailbox clustering, please call 303.660.7480.
