How New Jersey Counties and 5-Digit FIPS Codes Work

In U.S. Census Bureau TIGER/Line geography, New Jersey (NJ) is assigned the 2-digit state Federal Information Processing Series (FIPS) code 34 and covers 7,355 square miles of land area across 21 counties in the Eastern Time (ET) zone (with Trenton as the state capital). Every county in the directory above carries a unique 5-digit GEOID formed by combining state prefix 34 with a 3-digit county code (ranging alphabetically from Atlantic County at 34001 to Warren County at 34041).

Because U.S. Postal Service 5-digit ZIP Codes follow mail carrier delivery routes rather than local government borders, many postal addresses in New Jersey 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 New Jersey 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 21 administrative seats and 21 verified official government websites are cross-referenced from Wikidata (CC0). Need a clean outline worksheet without county labels, or want to verify which New Jersey county a specific home or business address sits in?
