Over 65 Communities to Receive Unique Zip Codes Under New Legislation
WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a significant bipartisan win, the U.S. House of Representatives passed Rep. Lauren Boebert’s Zip Code bill, H.R. 3095, on Monday evening with a vote of 278-121. The legislation mandates the U.S. Postal Service to assign unique zip codes to more than 65 cities, towns, and communities nationwide—including 15 in Colorado.
Backed by 33 cosponsors, the bill is a reintroduction of Boebert’s previous effort that passed the House in December 2024. It aims to resolve long-standing issues in towns like Castle Pines, Lone Tree, and Severance, where the absence of a distinct zip code has negatively affected sales tax revenue, insurance rates, mail delivery, and emergency response times.
“This is a tremendous, hard-fought victory for the cities, towns, and communities in Colorado’s 4th District and across our country who have called for a unique zip code,” said Rep. Boebert. “This isn’t a partisan issue—it’s a basic need that impacts public safety, mail delivery for seniors and veterans, business permitting, and local revenues. I’m proud to have worked across the aisle to get this through the House. Now it’s time for the Senate to act and send this bill to President Trump’s desk.”
Local leaders praised Boebert’s efforts and highlighted the real-world impact of the bill.
“The City of Castle Pines is grateful for Congresswoman Boebert’s tireless efforts,” said Castle Pines Mayor Tracy Engerman. “This bill ensures our residents get their fair share of tax revenue and faster emergency responses. Her bipartisan work has been critical.”
Severance Mayor Matt Fries added, “This bill is key to the success of Small Town America. Every town deserves a unique zip code—it affects tax collection, emergency services, and insurance rates. Congresswoman Boebert has fought like hell for our identity. I urge the Senate to finish what she started.”
Lone Tree Mayor Marissa Harmon echoed the sentiment. “This legislation addresses years of challenges tied to shared zip codes—emergency management, community identity, business growth, and more. The Senate must act now to support what’s best for our residents.”
With growing support from across the country and both sides of the aisle, H.R. 3095 now heads to the Senate for further action.
