Mail delivery planning for builders

Install mailboxes that meet Canada Post’s standards for new subdivisions and condos.

Centralized mail delivery is required for all new residential and commercial developments in Canada. Our Delivery Planning Standards manual explains the standards for customer mail receiving equipment, such as:

  • Community mailboxes for subdivisions
  • Lockboxes for apartments and condos

The manual was developed in collaboration with builders, developers, architects, planners, and municipal authorities. It provides guidance for every stage of the development process:

  • Design
  • Construction
  • Installation

Have your plans reviewed by a delivery planner

While the manual outlines available delivery options, it’s important to have your plans reviewed by a Canada Post delivery planner. We recommend contacting your regional delivery planning office before starting any major step in your project.

You’ll find a list of regional offices in the Delivery Planning Standards manual.
