The Modern Postal Service: Agency or Business?
Until adoption of the Postal Reorganization Act of 1970, the U.S. Postal Service functioned as a regular, tax-supported, agency of the federal government. According to the laws under which it now operates, the U.S. Postal Service is a semi-independent federal agency, mandated to be revenue-neutral. That is, it is supposed to break even, not make a profit. In 1982, U.S. postage stamps became "postal products," rather than a form of taxation. Since then, The bulk of the cost of operating the postal system has been paid for by customers through the sale of "postal products" and services rather than taxes. Each class of mail is also expected to cover its share of the costs, a requirement that causes the percentage rate adjustments to vary in different classes of mail, according the costs associated with the processing and delivery characteristics of each class. According to the costs of operations, U.S. Postal Service rates are set by the Postal Rate Commission according to the recommendations of the Postal Board of Governors.

The answer to this is somewhat complicated because the mailbox is techinicaly owned by the postal service for your protection on the grounds that your mail can't be tampered with, but you are still free to change your mailbox or move it.
Just to add detail on what is owned......
Yes, the previous contributor is basically correct, but...actually, the person who owns the home or unit owns the mailbox itself, and is responsible for it's upkeep and usability. The Federal U.S.P.S. is the only organization or person, that has an exclusive sole right to use it. They own the rights to use it, along with yourself for the sole purpose of sending postage appropriate mail out, or returning misdirected mail back to the "Carrier", who is the USPS. Any other "use" of the mailbox, even giving your neighbors a flyer for the summer picnic is mail fraud.
But the previous contributor is absolutely correct in that it is for your security that the boxes' use is owned and controlled by the USPS. The neighbor "using" the box for flyers could have access to your personal and confidential correspondence, and that is illegal. Also, "No" to using the flag to tie flyers on. That too, "the flag's use" is owned by the U.S.P.S.
