Our community is charging homeowners for this when I am under the belief that once the mailbox is being used for mail collection it is owned by the USPS and the government and not the HOA/community and thus they would not be allowed to make rules and regulations on them thus making it illegal to charge us 0 a year to have it.
I rented a condo in a lakefront complex beginning in December 2011.
