True they are not your property, but in all likelihood they are not the property of the Postal Service either. I would surmise that the building and the boxes were installed by the developer and now are under the control of the CDD.

The USPS doesn't have any reason to look at the outside of the boxes. They load the mail from inside the building.

Drive down the road from TV and you will see residential boxes painted in all kinds of colors and even shaped like animals. I once had a neighbor who had a COW mailbox in our very upscale neighborhood.

It had never occurred to the HOA to prohibit cow mailboxes.
