Cleveland ZIP codes: US ZIP code list for Cleveland, Ohio (OH)

Quick answer

Cleveland, Ohio has 12 US ZIP codes, running 44102 to 44120 inside Cuyahoga County. Each carries the same 8% 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.

Cleveland ZIP code footprint

How Cleveland's ZIP footprint compares with national norms.

12 ZIP codes are listed for Cleveland, covering a population of 362,656. They span 19 numbers, 44102 through 44120. The median covered metro on this site lists 12 codes; Cleveland ranks 2 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 12 codes share the 441 prefix. That first trio is the sectional center facility — the USPS plant that sorts mail for the region — so every piece addressed to Cleveland passes through one facility. The range runs 44102 to 44120.

ZIP boundaries are carrier routes, not city limits. USPS redraws them when delivery volume shifts; Ohio redraws tax and municipal lines on a different schedule entirely. A Cleveland mailing address does not prove an address sits inside Cleveland 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 Ohio, local jurisdictions set their own increments, so remote sellers should validate the full delivery address against the Ohio Department of Taxation lookup at the time of sale.

What is the first ZIP code in Cleveland, OH?
44102 is the lowest-numbered code serving Cleveland. Numbering runs roughly northeast to west nationally, so Cleveland's 441 prefix reflects its position in the Ohio sorting network, not its size.
Do all Cleveland ZIP codes have the same sales tax rate?
