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.
Yes
you do
In Ohio, it is generally illegal to park in front of a mailbox if it obstructs mail delivery. The U.S. Postal Service recommends leaving a clear space of 10 to 15 feet in front of mailboxes to ensure that mail carriers can deliver mail without leaving their vehicles. Local ordinances may also have specific regulations regarding parking in these areas, so it's important to check local laws for any additional restrictions.
Most states have different laws. The average to legally park from a residential mailbox is ten feet unless the vehicle city,state or federally licensed.
it should be in the front of the house next to the trashcan.
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.
Postal regulations require the mailbox to be placed at the front entrance of the property or residence for safety reasons.
If the mailbox is on the other side of the sidewalk closer to the street then is it the county's property and it is a federal offense to mess with it but if it is in your property then yes you can do whatever you wish with it.
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.
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.
You tap on it, or you walk in front of it and press A.
