As part of our shared commitment to maintaining the beauty, safety, and consistency of our neighborhood, we would like to remind all homeowners about their responsibility for maintaining their mailboxes.
Why Mailbox Maintenance Matters
Mailboxes are often one of the first features visitors and passersby notice about a home. A well-maintained mailbox reflects pride in ownership and helps uphold our neighborhood’s aesthetic appeal and property values. Additionally, a clean and structurally sound mailbox ensures safe and reliable mail delivery by postal carriers.
According to Our CC&Rs:
Section 5.2 – Owner’s Responsibility clearly states:
“Each Owner shall maintain his or her Unit, and all structures, parking areas, driveways, landscaping, fences, and other improvements comprising the Unit, in a manner consistent with the Community-Wide Standard, the Design Guidelines and the Zoning Ordinance, and all applicable covenants, unless such maintenance responsibility is otherwise assumed by or assigned to the Association. Each Owner shall also maintain the driveway and mailbox serving his or her Unit and all landscaping, including street trees, located in any right-of-way immediately adjacent to the Owner’s Unit.”
This means mailbox upkeep is the direct responsibility of each homeowner.
Questions or Need Guidance?
If you’re unsure whether your mailbox meets the Community-Wide Standard or are considering a replacement, please contact our office at info@dicommunity.org and include your address and a photo of your mailbox.
By staying proactive with mailbox maintenance, you’re not only fulfilling your homeowner responsibilities under the CC&Rs but also contributing to the overall charm and value of our community.
