Quick answer
Nashville, Tennessee has 12 US ZIP codes, running 37201 to 37221 inside Davidson County. Each carries the same 9.25% 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.

Nashville ZIP code footprint
How Nashville's ZIP footprint compares with national norms.
12 ZIP codes are listed for Nashville, covering a population of 689,447. They span 21 numbers, 37201 through 37221. The median covered metro on this site lists 12 codes; Nashville 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 372 prefix. That first trio is the sectional center facility — the USPS plant that sorts mail for the region — so every piece addressed to Nashville passes through one facility. The range runs 37201 to 37221.
ZIP boundaries are carrier routes, not city limits. USPS redraws them when delivery volume shifts; Tennessee redraws tax and municipal lines on a different schedule entirely. A Nashville mailing address does not prove an address sits inside Nashville 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 Tennessee, local jurisdictions set their own increments, so remote sellers should validate the full delivery address against the Tennessee Department of Revenue lookup at the time of sale.
