Mailbox Replacement Policy

Xenia Township has adopted the following policy for mailboxes damaged directly by Township crews during snow plowing. Property owners are encouraged to inspect their mailboxes and posts prior to winter season each year. Your mailbox should be designed and constructed to withstand winter plowing. Massive supports such as telephone poles, heavy metal posts, bricks or similar items are considered hazards and should not be used.

If your mailbox or post is damaged as a result of direct contact from our equipment, we will repair or replace it. Mailboxes damaged by thrown or pushed snow does not warrant replacement. Xenia Township will only use a breakaway type post (4×4 post) and a standard U.S. Postal Service approved lightweight steel mailbox.
