About ZIP 45206
ZIP boundaries are postal routes, not tax boundaries.
Hamilton County's transit sales tax replaced Cincinnati's earnings-tax funding of Metro, shifting the burden from workers to shoppers. 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.
