About ZIP 70125
ZIP boundaries are postal routes, not tax boundaries.
Louisiana parishes collect their own sales tax locally, and Orleans Parish's combined local rate is among the highest in the nation. For destination-based sourcing, Louisiana 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.
