Quick answer
San Antonio, Texas has 12 US ZIP codes, running 78201 to 78249 inside Bexar County. Each carries the same 8.25% 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.

San Antonio ZIP code footprint
How San Antonio's ZIP footprint compares with national norms.
12 ZIP codes are listed for San Antonio, covering a population of 1,495,295. They span 49 numbers, 78201 through 78249. The median covered metro on this site lists 12 codes; San Antonio 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 782 prefix. That first trio is the sectional center facility — the USPS plant that sorts mail for the region — so every piece addressed to San Antonio passes through one facility. The range runs 78201 to 78249.
ZIP boundaries are carrier routes, not city limits. USPS redraws them when delivery volume shifts; Texas redraws tax and municipal lines on a different schedule entirely. A San Antonio mailing address does not prove an address sits inside San Antonio 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 Texas, local jurisdictions set their own increments, so remote sellers should validate the full delivery address against the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts lookup at the time of sale.
