How Vermont Counties and 5-Digit FIPS Codes Work
In U.S. Census Bureau TIGER/Line geography, Vermont (VT) is assigned the 2-digit state Federal Information Processing Series (FIPS) code 50 and covers 9,217 square miles of land area across 14 counties in the Eastern Time (ET) zone (with Montpelier as the state capital). Every county in the directory above carries a unique 5-digit GEOID formed by combining state prefix 50 with a 3-digit county code (ranging alphabetically from Addison County at 50001 to Windsor County at 50027).
Because U.S. Postal Service 5-digit ZIP Codes follow mail carrier delivery routes rather than local government borders, many postal addresses in Vermont 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 Vermont 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 14 administrative seats and 6 verified official government websites are cross-referenced from Wikidata (CC0).
