About ZIP 48213
ZIP boundaries are postal routes, not tax boundaries.
Michigan's constitution caps sales tax at 6% and bars local add-ons, so Detroit's rate has not changed since 1994. For destination-based sourcing, Michigan 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.
