Al,
this maybe true for Minnesota but there are many local jurisdictions which only apply to a part of a Zip code and not the other. New York State has some. I suspect NYS is not alone.

Zip  code is not  good  for taxing  jurisdictions  either. There is  a
statistic out there some  place  that says  this is a real NO NO
