Sacramento ZIP codes: US ZIP code list for Sacramento, California (CA)

Quick answer

Sacramento, California has 10 US ZIP codes, running 95811 to 95833 inside Sacramento County. Each carries the same 8.75% combined sales tax rate. ZIP boundaries are postal delivery routes, not tax boundaries — a code that crosses a city or district line can hold more than one rate, so destination-based sellers should validate by full street address.

Sacramento ZIP code footprint

How Sacramento's ZIP footprint compares with national norms.

10 ZIP codes are listed for Sacramento, covering a population of 526,384. They span 23 numbers, 95811 through 95833. The median covered metro on this site lists 12 codes; Sacramento ranks 55 of 94 by count. Large metros carry more codes because USPS splits a delivery area once carrier volume outgrows one route cluster, not because the city is geographically bigger.

All 10 codes share the 958 prefix. That first trio is the sectional center facility — the USPS plant that sorts mail for the region — so every piece addressed to Sacramento passes through one facility. The range runs 95811 to 95833.

ZIP boundaries are carrier routes, not city limits. USPS redraws them when delivery volume shifts; California redraws tax and municipal lines on a different schedule entirely. A Sacramento mailing address does not prove an address sits inside Sacramento city limits, and a single code can straddle the boundary.

Why ZIP-based rate lookup is unreliable

USPS redraws ZIP codes when carrier routes change. Tax jurisdictions move with annexations, county lines and voter-approved districts. The two never line up. In California, local jurisdictions set their own increments, so remote sellers should validate the full delivery address against the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration lookup at the time of sale.
