About ZIP 27606
ZIP boundaries are postal routes, not tax boundaries.
Wake County matched Mecklenburg's transit half-cent in 2017, so Raleigh and Charlotte now charge the same combined rate. For destination-based sourcing, North Carolina 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.
