About ZIP 38114
ZIP boundaries are postal routes, not tax boundaries.
Memphis added a half-cent city increment in 2023 for public safety pay, taking it to Tennessee's statutory maximum. For destination-based sourcing, Tennessee 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.
