About ZIP 85701
ZIP boundaries are postal routes, not tax boundaries.
Arizona levies a transaction privilege tax on the seller rather than a sales tax on the buyer, and Tucson's city rate is one of the higher municipal rates in the state. For destination-based sourcing, Arizona 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.
