About ZIP 23223
ZIP boundaries are postal routes, not tax boundaries.
The Central Virginia regional add-on took effect in 2020 and applies across the Richmond region, not just inside the city. For destination-based sourcing, Virginia 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.
