Mailbox photo legal issues

If I take a photo of a mailbox and use it in a publication that is sold, do I have to get signed photo release from the property holder?

Unless the mailbox was created by the property owner, his consent would be irrelevant. If the mailbox is sufficiently original and creative to qualify for copyright protection, you should consult with an attorney in your area before proceeding with publishing a photograph.
