Mailboxes on the County Right-of-Way
POLICY NO. 1973-4.RES – Adopted 1973 P-1973-4.res (Reviewed & Accepted as written at Special Meetings on April 6th and June 14th, 1989)
Mailboxes are allowed on public right-of-way for the convenience and benefit of the public. Therefore, the Road Commission cannot assume any responsibility for any damage to them.
When a mailbox is knocked down in the process of snow removal or seasonal maintenance work, it can be assumed we are acting in the best interest of the public and the damages are unavoidable. As such, neither the public nor the Road Commission, who is acting on behalf of the public, is liable or responsible for any damages.
The Oscoda County Road Commission will continue its past policy in taking every precaution it can with regard and respect for the property of others within its right-of-way.
