About ZIP 43202
ZIP boundaries are postal routes, not tax boundaries.
Ohio sets sales tax at county level, and COTA's transit levy applies across most of Franklin County rather than only inside Columbus. For destination-based sourcing, Ohio 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.
