About ZIP 06608
ZIP boundaries are postal routes, not tax boundaries.
Connecticut bars local sales taxes, so Bridgeport's 6.35% never changes by town — but meals and beverages carry a separate 7.35% rate. For destination-based sourcing, Connecticut sellers should confirm the rate by full street address rather than ZIP alone — a single ZIP can cross a city limit or a transit-district boundary, and the rate follows the boundary, not the mail route.
