About ZIP 55116
ZIP boundaries are postal routes, not tax boundaries.
St. Paul's own 1% street-maintenance sales tax took effect in 2024, putting it above Minneapolis. For destination-based sourcing, Minnesota 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.
