Zip Code Realignment
• Approximately 21 addresses in
Southlake have a 76248 Zip Code and
receive mail delivery from Keller
• City has received numerous requests
to have the 76248 Zip Code changed to
Southlake's 76092 Zip Code
®SOUTHLAKE
There are approximately 21 addresses in Southlake that have a 76248 Zip Code, and
therefore receive mail delivery from Keller. As a Southlake resident, it is almost impossible
to describe to someone that you live in Southlake when your mailing address is in Keller.
Additionally, having a Keller Zip Code while living in Southlake causes difficulties with mail
and package delivery, and denies these residents of the benefits and obligations that come
with the Southlake Zip Code, such as different home insurance premiums.
Due to this, the City has received numerous requests from these residents to have their
76248 Zip Code changed to Southlake's 76092 Zip Code.

Zip Code Realignment
• Resolution is first step in process
• Pending approval of the resolution,
USPS will:
— Conduct a Feasibility Determination
— Send out surveys to Southlake addresses
with a 76248 Zip Code
— Host Town Hall Meetings
— Make a final decision
®SOUTHLAKE
This resolution is the first step in the Zip Code realignment process. Pending the approval of
this resolution, the United States Postal Service will conduct a feasibility determination to
see if it is feasible for them to alter delivery to these addresses. Following this, they will
send out surveys via certified mail to the Southlake addresses with a 76248 Zip Code and
host Town Hall meetings to gauge support for the change. Following this process, the Postal
Service will make a final decision regarding the realignment.
