How Kentucky Counties and 5-Digit FIPS Codes Work
In U.S. Census Bureau TIGER/Line geography, Kentucky (KY) is assigned the 2-digit state Federal Information Processing Series (FIPS) code 21 and covers 39,486 square miles of land area across 120 counties in the Eastern Time (ET) in the east and Central Time (CT) in the west zone (with Frankfort as the state capital). Every county in the directory above carries a unique 5-digit GEOID formed by combining state prefix 21 with a 3-digit county code (ranging alphabetically from Adair County at 21001 to Woodford County at 21239).
Because U.S. Postal Service 5-digit ZIP Codes follow mail carrier delivery routes rather than local government borders, many postal addresses in Kentucky carry a neighboring city’s mailing name or sit inside a multi-county ZIP Code Tabulation Area (ZCTA). Property tax assessments, deed recording, circuit and county court venue, voter registration precincts, sheriff jurisdiction, and county sales tax rates in Kentucky are determined by the legal county boundary shown on the map above rather than the postal city name on an envelope.
Land area figures in square miles and internal centroid coordinates (INTPTLAT, INTPTLON) come directly from the U.S. Census Bureau’s current TIGERweb State_County benchmark, while 120 administrative seats and 118 verified official government websites are cross-referenced from Wikidata (CC0). Need a clean outline worksheet without county labels, or want to verify which Kentucky county a specific home or business address sits in? Open the Blank Map of Kentucky, run a street-segment check on Address to County Lookup, check multi-county postal overlap on ZIP Code to County Lookup, or browse all 50 states on the National U.S. County Map.
