Quick answer
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania has 12 US ZIP codes, running 15201 to 15232 inside Allegheny County. Each carries the same 7% 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.

Pittsburgh ZIP code footprint
How Pittsburgh's ZIP footprint compares with national norms.
12 ZIP codes are listed for Pittsburgh, covering a population of 302,971. They span 32 numbers, 15201 through 15232. The median covered metro on this site lists 12 codes; Pittsburgh 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 152 prefix. That first trio is the sectional center facility — the USPS plant that sorts mail for the region — so every piece addressed to Pittsburgh passes through one facility. The range runs 15201 to 15232.
ZIP boundaries are carrier routes, not city limits. USPS redraws them when delivery volume shifts; Pennsylvania redraws tax and municipal lines on a different schedule entirely. A Pittsburgh mailing address does not prove an address sits inside Pittsburgh 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 Pennsylvania, local jurisdictions set their own increments, so remote sellers should validate the full delivery address against the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue lookup at the time of sale.
