RE: City/State/County Info by Zip Codes

[Steve Morrison <smorrison@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think you will need to be able to update your ZIP Code database, at least
annually. The zip codes do change, as the post office opens and closes their
post offices, and as towns grow and die.

Can you give us some idea of how you expect to utilize this data? Are you
doing mailing list validations, or simply validating zip codes that customer
service reps are entering, or are you doing a shipping/routing planning
project?

Subject: City/State/County Info by Zip Codes

I've been researching web for such tools and there appears to be plenty of
them but (as expected), my company isn't interested in a "yearly update"
process and some of them are costly.  (read that as "don't spend any money
to do this")

What I'm really shooting to find is a resource that has zipcodes (preferably
ranges of zip codes) with City/State/County information for each zip (or
range of zips).  I only need the US and just want to do this as a "one time"
thing.  Our customer base does not change much so any maintenance after that
is quite minimal (hence, we don't need the regular updates via an outside
product).

Can anyone suggest where I might find such a (free) resource?  I'll take it
just about any flavor (txt, excel, access, db2 table, etc.) and massage it
to get it into my table.
