Boise ZIP codes: US ZIP code list for Boise, Idaho (ID)
Quick answer
Boise, Idaho has 10 US ZIP codes, running 83702 to 83716 inside Ada County. Each carries the same 6% 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.

Boise ZIP code footprint
How Boise's ZIP footprint compares with national norms.
10 ZIP codes are listed for Boise, covering a population of 235,684. They span 15 numbers, 83702 through 83716. The median covered metro on this site lists 12 codes; Boise 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 837 prefix. That first trio is the sectional center facility — the USPS plant that sorts mail for the region — so every piece addressed to Boise passes through one facility. The range runs 83702 to 83716.
ZIP boundaries are carrier routes, not city limits. USPS redraws them when delivery volume shifts; Idaho redraws tax and municipal lines on a different schedule entirely. A Boise mailing address does not prove an address sits inside Boise 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 Idaho, local jurisdictions set their own increments, so remote sellers should validate the full delivery address against the Idaho State Tax Commission lookup at the time of sale.
