• 📬 Cluster Mailbox Keys

  📬 Cluster Mailbox Keys

  Mail is delivered to cluster box units (CBUs), not curbside. If you’re moving in and need a mailbox key, follow the steps below.

  1) Visit the Serving Post Office

  USPS — Little Elm Post Office
  1012 W Eldorado Pkwy, Little Elm, TX 75068
  Check current hours
  Phone: 972-292-1864 or 1-800-ASK-USPS

  Bring a government-issued photo ID and proof you live at the address (closing docs, deed, or lease/utility).

  2) Tell USPS You Need a Key

  • If the previous owner didn’t provide keys, request a lock change and new keys for your CBU compartment.
  • USPS may have you complete PS Form 1094 — Request for Post Office Box Key or Lock Service and pay a small lock/key fee (amount varies by location).
  • USPS will change the lock and notify you when your keys are ready for pickup.

  Helpful Notes

  • Who issues keys? For USPS-owned CBUs, keys/locks are handled by the local Post Office. If a CBU is privately owned/managed (some condos/HOAs), contact the property manager instead.
  • Documentation needed: Photo ID + proof of occupancy/ownership (lease, deed, or recent utility). Bring your exact street address and unit number.
  • Fees & timing: A lock/key fee is typical; exact cost and turnaround are set locally by USPS. Ask the Little Elm counter staff for current details.
  • Parcel lockers: Packages too large for your mailbox may be placed in a parcel locker. USPS leaves a one-time use key in your box to open the locker.

  Questions? Start with the Little Elm Post Office (above) or the USPS FAQs on locked mailboxes and keys.

• 🛣️ North Texas Tollway Authority (NTTA)

  🛣️ North Texas Tollway Authority (NTTA)

  The NTTA operates toll roads in the North Texas region. Here’s how you can set up a TollTag, pay tolls, and get help if you run into issues.

  • Get a TollTag
    NTTA — Get a TollTag
    You’ll need: vehicle make/model/year, license plate, and a payment method. TollTag enables lowest toll rates vs pay-by-mail (ZipCash).
  • Pay a Toll / ZipCash Bill
    Pay Your Bill or Manage Account
    Pay past-due tolls via this portal; non-payment leads to late fees or enforcement actions.
  • Customer Service & Contact
    NTTA Contact / Support
    Phone: 972-818-NTTA (6882) or 817-731-NTTA (6882)

  Tip: Using a TollTag saves you money. Drivers without a TollTag are billed via ZipCash (pay-by-mail) and pay higher rates.

  Additional Notes & Tips

  • Tolls for NTTA’s TEXpress lanes are also billed through NTTA.
  • If you use a non-NTTA tag (e.g. interoperable ones), NTTA accepts many of them but billing is integrated through their system.
  • Need assistance on the road? Dial **#999** from a mobile phone for free roadside safety services on NTTA roads.
  • Keep your account in good standing—late tolls sent via ZipCash can accrue fees, and repeated nonpayments may lead to restrictions on vehicle registration renewal.
  • To dispute a toll charge or request adjustment, contact NTTA Customer Service.}
