About ZIP 87120
ZIP boundaries are postal routes, not tax boundaries.
New Mexico levies a gross receipts tax on the seller rather than a sales tax; it applies to most services as well as goods, which is broader than a typical sales tax. For destination-based sourcing, New Mexico 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.
