Utah is served by 185 ZIP codes that span 28 counties and 126 cities, ranging from 84001 in the rural northeast to 84790 in the sunny southwest corner near St. George. All Utah ZIP codes begin with the prefix 84, with eight three-digit combinations (840–847) covering everything from the bustling Wasatch Front metro area to quiet desert communities near iconic national parks like Zion and Bryce Canyon. Salt Lake County alone accounts for 52 of the state's ZIP codes, underscoring its role as Utah's population and economic center. Whether you're mailing a letter to downtown Salt Lake City or a remote town in the high desert, understanding Utah's ZIP code system makes navigating the Beehive State's postal geography straightforward.
Utah ZIP codes use prefixes 840 through 847, reflecting the state's geographic distribution from north to south. The 840 and 841 prefixes primarily cover the densely populated Wasatch Front corridor, including Salt Lake City and its surrounding suburbs, while higher prefixes like 846 and 847 serve the more rural central and southern regions of the state, including communities near national parks and desert landscapes.
Salt Lake County leads Utah with 52 ZIP codes — more than double any other county — reflecting its status as the state's most populous and urbanized county, home to Salt Lake City and dozens of surrounding municipalities that form the economic and cultural heart of the state.
Quick facts
Utah's ZIP code range begins at 84001 (Altamont) and extends to 84790 (St. George), spanning roughly 400 miles from the northeastern Uinta Basin to the southwestern desert near the Arizona border.
When the ZIP code system was introduced in 1963, Utah was assigned the 84 prefix block, making it one of the western states grouped in the '8' zone alongside Colorado (80–81), Nevada (88–89), and Idaho (83).
Despite being the 13th largest state by land area, Utah has a relatively compact set of just 185 ZIP codes, largely because much of its territory consists of vast, sparsely populated desert, national forests, and federally managed lands that require fewer postal zones.
