About ZIP 15208
ZIP boundaries are postal routes, not tax boundaries.
Allegheny County is one of only two Pennsylvania counties allowed a local sales tax; the other is Philadelphia. For destination-based sourcing, Pennsylvania 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.
