New Zip Codes in Gilbert

Back to Blog

Arizona continues to attract new residents and adding a net of 115,000 people/year to our population has resulted in the US postal service adding 12 new zip codes to the state of Arizona.  Over 76,000 people were notified of a zip code change the summer of 2007 in Arizona.  The area with the most significant percent of people affected were those in the South Gilbert/Higley area of the East Valley.  2 new zip codes, 85295 and 95298 were added and a formerly Higley zip code 85236 was eliminated.  Major re-alignment with the surrounding zip codes 85297, 86296 and 85234 also occurred.

 

The Postal Service has instituted a 12 month grace period.  So if you haven't already notified family, friends and all those you do business with - now would be a good time to do so!  Once the grace period is over, there are no guarantees to the normal speedy delivery of your mail that we all enjoy and some times take for granted.

 

Although this happened months ago, I recently found a Google map that I thought I would post since I still get lots of questions about it.
