URBANDALE, Iowa (AP) - Urbandale officials say they’re trying to straighten out the confusion over who lives where, according to their ZIP codes.
The Des Moines Register reports (https://dmreg.co/1e2XEvz ) that most Urbandale addresses fall into either 50322 or 50323 ZIP codes. But some north Urbandale addresses near the city boundaries with Johnston and Grimes have those cities’ ZIPs: 50131 and 50111. Those businesses and residents - situated inside Urbandale city limits - have been using Johnston or Grimes street addresses, lest their mail comes late or not at all.
The city solution? Urbandale officials say they’ll ask the U.S. Postal Service to let Urbandale be listed as an “acceptable city” for mailing addresses in the 50131 and 50111 ZIP codes.
