About ZIP 21206
ZIP boundaries are postal routes, not tax boundaries.
Maryland allows no local sales tax. Baltimore City is an independent city, so there is no surrounding county layer to add either. For destination-based sourcing, Maryland 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.
