Tulsa Metro ZIP Codes: Complete Reference List

The Tulsa metropolitan area spans multiple counties in northeastern Oklahoma, and its postal geography reflects that complexity. This page catalogs the ZIP codes assigned to communities within the Tulsa metro, explains how the United States Postal Service (USPS) assigns and structures those codes, and clarifies how postal boundaries compare to the official metropolitan statistical area definition. Accurate ZIP code data matters for emergency services dispatch, census data aggregation, property records, and business licensing purposes.

Definition and scope

A ZIP code — Zone Improvement Plan code — is a numeric identifier assigned by the United States Postal Service to facilitate mail sorting and delivery. ZIP codes do not follow city limits, county lines, or metropolitan statistical area (MSA) boundaries. A single ZIP code may cross county lines, and a single city may contain a dozen or more ZIP codes.

The Tulsa MSA, as defined by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB), encompasses Tulsa County, Creek County, Okmulgee County, Osage County, Pawnee County, Rogers County, Wagoner County, and Tulsa County's adjacent urbanized zones. The ZIP codes that fall within or substantially overlap this footprint number more than 80 distinct codes when the full eight-county MSA is included. The city of Tulsa proper accounts for roughly 30 of those codes.

The Tulsa Metro Area Overview provides additional geographic context for understanding how these postal zones map onto civic infrastructure.

How it works

USPS assigns ZIP codes based on carrier route geography — the physical paths letter carriers travel — not political jurisdictions. When a municipality annexes new territory, the ZIP code serving that land does not automatically change. The USPS updates carrier route assignments on its own timeline, which may lag annexation by months or years.

Five-digit ZIP codes are the standard identifier. ZIP+4 codes append a hyphen and four additional digits that narrow delivery to a specific building, floor, or side of a street. For bulk mail, emergency routing, and demographic analysis, the five-digit code remains the operative unit.

The Tulsa Metro Census Data resource explains how the U.S. Census Bureau uses ZIP Code Tabulation Areas (ZCTAs) — which approximate but do not perfectly replicate USPS ZIP codes — for demographic reporting.

Common scenarios

Property and real estate transactions — Title companies and county assessors in Tulsa County, Rogers County, and Wagoner County use ZIP codes to route records and assign jurisdiction for deed filings. A property on the Broken Arrow / Tulsa border may carry a 74011 or 74012 ZIP code even if it sits within Tulsa County tax rolls.

Emergency services dispatch — Tulsa's 911 center and the Tulsa Metro Emergency Services network cross-reference ZIP codes against Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) polygon maps. Because a ZIP code can straddle two fire districts, dispatch systems use GIS coordinates as the primary routing mechanism, with ZIP as a secondary confirmation field.

School enrollment — Tulsa Public Schools, Union Public Schools, and Broken Arrow Public Schools each publish enrollment boundary maps that partially align with ZIP code geography. A child residing in ZIP 74133 may be zoned for either Union or Jenks depending on the specific street address. The Tulsa Metro Schools and Education page covers district boundaries in detail.

Business licensing — Oklahoma Secretary of State filings and City of Tulsa business licenses require a valid ZIP code for registered address purposes. Businesses operating across the metro should use the ZIP that corresponds to their physical street address, not a PO Box range.

Decision boundaries

ZIP code geography creates three distinct classification scenarios that frequently cause confusion:

ZIP code vs. city limits — A ZIP code labeled "Tulsa" by USPS does not confirm that an address falls within the Tulsa city limits. ZIP 74008, for example, is associated with Bixby, while portions of ZIP 74132 include addresses annexed into Tulsa but still commonly associated with surrounding communities.

ZIP code vs. county boundary — The Tulsa Metro County Breakdown documents eight counties in the MSA. ZIP codes cross county lines in the Catoosa / Tulsa, Owasso / Rogers County, and Sand Springs / Creek County overlap zones.

USPS ZIP vs. ZCTA — The Census Bureau's ZCTAs are polygon-based approximations built from address data as of each decennial census. A ZCTA and its corresponding ZIP code share the same five-digit number but may not share identical boundaries. Researchers using Census demographic data should confirm whether figures reference the ZCTA or the USPS carrier route zone.

The main resource index provides navigation to all civic reference pages covering the Tulsa metropolitan area, including the Tulsa Metro Population and Demographics page, which uses ZCTA-level breakdowns for neighborhood-by-neighborhood comparison.
