Sponsored By: Senator Warner, Mark R. [D-VA]

Introduced

Summary

This bill would require the U.S. Postal Service to designate a single, unique ZIP Code for Fairlawn, Virginia. It aims to stop online sales tax from being misallocated to the nearby independent city of Radford and reflect Fairlawn's separate tax jurisdiction.

Show full summary
  • Residents of Fairlawn would have clearer tax attribution for e-commerce purchases, so local sales tax is credited to their community rather than to Radford.
  • Pulaski County and local officials would see more accurate sales tax allocation tied to Fairlawn, improving local revenue tracking and distribution.
  • The independent city of Radford could lose some tax receipts that were previously attributed to it because of shared ZIP Codes.
  • The U.S. Postal Service would be required to assign the unique ZIP Code within 180 days of enactment.
