About ZIP 58078
ZIP boundaries are postal routes, not tax boundaries.
North Dakota caps local tax per transaction through a refund program, so large purchases in Fargo can claim back local tax above the cap. For destination-based sourcing, North Dakota 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.
