Vermont is served by 240 ZIP codes that span all 14 of the state's counties and 228 cities and towns, ranging from 05001 in White River Junction to 05907 in Norton near the Canadian border. Every Vermont ZIP code begins with the prefix '05,' reflecting the state's compact size and relatively small population. Windsor, Washington, and Rutland counties contain the highest concentration of ZIP codes, owing to their numerous rural villages and spread-out communities across the Green Mountain landscape. Whether you're mailing a letter to downtown Burlington or a remote corner of the Northeast Kingdom, Vermont's ZIP code system ensures reliable delivery across one of New England's most picturesque states.
Vermont ZIP codes all begin with the prefix 05, making the state one of the few covered entirely by a single two-digit prefix. The three-digit prefixes range from 050 through 059, generally progressing from the southeastern part of the state near the Connecticut River northward through the Green Mountains to the Canadian border. For example, 050 and 051 cover the southern regions around White River Junction and Brattleboro, while 058 and 059 serve the far northern communities near Newport and the Northeast Kingdom.
Windsor County leads Vermont with 29 ZIP codes, reflecting its status as one of the state's largest counties by area, stretching along the Connecticut River valley and encompassing numerous small towns and villages such as White River Junction, Woodstock, and Springfield.
Quick facts
Vermont's lowest ZIP code, 05001, belongs to White River Junction, which has served as a major postal hub since the 19th century due to its position at the convergence of several rail lines.
Vermont's ZIP codes all start with '05,' making it one of only a handful of states where every ZIP code shares the same two-digit prefix — a reflection of its small population and compact geography.
The highest ZIP code in Vermont, 05907, belongs to Norton, a remote town on the Canadian border in Essex County with a population of fewer than 200 people, making it one of the least populated ZIP codes in New England.
