Grand Island ZIP Code Directory Coverage
Current official-source review identified one verified ZIP code for the Town of Grand Island: 14072. It covers the town where postal addresses use Grand Island, including the locally named Ferry Village, Grandyle Village, Sandy Beach, and East River or Whitehaven areas. Those community names matter when reading an old directory, map, or deed, but the research did not verify them as separate postal ZIP codes. Do not add nearby Erie County codes merely because a regional list shows them near the island.
| ZIP code | Grand Island coverage | Post office | Record-search note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 14072 | Town of Grand Island, including Ferry Village, Grandyle Village, Sandy Beach, and East River/Whitehaven postal addresses | Grand Island Post Office | Confirm each delivery address with USPS; hamlet names are not separately verified ZIPs. |
The Grand Island ZIP code directory should remain that narrow. No official USPS boundary map, ZIP split or realignment year, ZIP+4 boundary table, or population-by-ZIP table for the town was located. A specific address check is stronger than a broad ZIP list.
Confirm a Grand Island ZIP Code With USPS
The USPS Grand Island Post Office listing is the local postal anchor for 14072. It identifies the post office at 2391 Baseline Road, Grand Island NY 14072-9998, with 716-773-5355. Listed retail hours are weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to noon, and closed Sunday. Use the USPS address lookup as the final confirmation for a delivery address, especially when another record carries an older locality or a tax mailing city.
The USPS post-office listing documents the local postal reference point.
The post-office record confirms a postal service location and ZIP reference. It does not draw a legal town boundary, list residents, or prove ownership of a property. Record the USPS result beside, rather than in place of, the parcel’s situs and tax mailing fields.
Grand Island ZIP Code Parcel Fields
Erie County GIS help documents searches by parcel SBL, owner, or address, plus Find Data, Identify, Measure, parcel reports, and layer controls. The parcel data can include ZIP, ZIP4, LOCALZIP, and CITYTOWN alongside the address, owner, mailing lines, SBL, school district, dimensions, assessment data, and selected deed information. A search by address can be viewed with the ZIPCODES layer, but a confirmed ZIP-wide parcel export or count was not located.
The Erie GIS map-help screen shows the parcel and map functions used with Grand Island ZIP code records.
The GIS ZIPCODES layer is a Census geographic reference, not a USPS delivery guarantee. Use Identify for one parcel, preserve the displayed field strings, and pair the result with a USPS confirmation when postal accuracy matters. The County also describes its parcel data as as-is and not a survey.
Find Grand Island Records by ZIP Code
A ZIP code narrows, rather than replaces, an address search. The Town-linked assessment route supports owner, address, and parcel searching, but the direct portal inspection did not confirm a ZIP filter. Use its address or parcel route first. Then use GIS to view the ZIP layer with the parcel, and only use the voter lookup after identifying one person. The State voter tool treats ZIP as a required match field, not a way to download a ZIP-wide directory.
- Enter the complete address in the USPS lookup and save the returned postal ZIP separately from other record fields.
- Search the same address or SBL in Erie On-Map. Inspect the parcel and compare ZIP, ZIP4, LOCALZIP, CITYTOWN, and mailing fields where populated.
- Use Find Data or a parcel report for a bounded map question. Do not claim a ZIP-wide parcel count when the viewer has not confirmed that workflow.
- For one named voter, enter Erie County, last name, first name, date of birth, and the matching ZIP in the State lookup.
- After the ZIP has narrowed the place, use the Grand Island street directory for the parcel-to-deed sequence on a named street.
For a lawful voter-data request, the Erie County form can specify geography, format, data elements, and sorting, but it requires an elections purpose and may involve fees. The form’s available geographic choices should not be treated as a promise of a ready-made 14072 resident list.
Grand Island ZIP Code Voter Match Fields
The New York Voter Lookup is designed for a single matching registration. All five identity and location fields below are required. A successful result can direct the registered voter to registration, poll-site, or mail-ballot information. It does not reveal a ballot choice, and protected confidential registrations are withheld or specially handled.
| Voter lookup field | Type | Required | ZIP-search meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| County | Dropdown | Yes | Select Erie County before the match. |
| Last Name | Text | Yes | Use the registered voter’s surname. |
| First Name | Text | Yes | Use the registered voter’s given name. |
| Date of Birth | Text | Yes | Enter the matching date as MM/DD/YYYY. |
| ZIP Code | Text | Yes | Matches the registration address ZIP. |
A voter address reflects registration at a point in time. It can differ from a property owner’s tax mailing address, and a failed lookup does not prove that a person is absent from Grand Island.
Note: Use the minimum information needed for one registration match and keep confidential voter records outside ordinary public inspection.
Grand Island ZIP Boundaries
Grand Island is a town, not a city, and its municipal geography does not become a postal boundary. A town or Census boundary can contain geographic features while USPS defines postal city labels and delivery routes for mail. The assessment roll may show a property location and a different current owner mailing city or ZIP. That difference is a record-purpose distinction, not evidence that the parcel moved or that a boundary changed.
- ZIP code and ZIP+4
- A ZIP code sorts mail to a delivery area. ZIP+4 adds delivery-route digits for a more precise mailing destination.
- PO box ZIP
- A postal code assigned for post-office boxes. No separate Grand Island PO box ZIP was verified in the reviewed sources.
- Unique ZIP
- A ZIP USPS may assign to an entity, company, or government address based on mail volume. None was verified for Grand Island.
- Carrier route
- A postal delivery sequence within an area. It is not the same as a parcel boundary or a town district.
Keep the property situs, owner mailing address, SBL, legal description, USPS postal response, and historical locality as separate fields. Each can be correct for its source without matching word for word.
Use ZIP+4 in Grand Island ZIP Code Work
USPS ZIP Code Basics explains the difference between a base ZIP and ZIP+4, and notes that unique ZIPs can be assigned by mail volume. That guidance helps explain why a longer delivery code is useful for mail without turning it into a neighborhood, owner, or resident identifier. The sources reviewed did not supply a Grand Island ZIP+4 table, so an exact address should be checked with USPS instead of copied from an older list.
The USPS ZIP Code Basics reference supports the delivery-language used for this postal check.
For a parcel question, preserve the postal result and then return to the SBL or legal description. This prevents a delivery label from displacing the land record that identifies the property.
Grand Island ZIP Code History and Localities
ZIP codes are newer than many Grand Island records. The Town was formed in 1852, and older deeds or directories can use Grand, Buckhorn, Beaver Island, Whitehaven, East River, Ferry Village, or another local label. Preserve the original street number, road suffix, and locality before translating anything to a modern postal address. The Official Street Guide can check current road spelling, while the SBL and legal description help decide whether two address forms refer to the same land.
No official renumbering or address-conversion table was found. When old and current numbers appear to conflict, ask the Town, County GIS, Clerk, or library for a written map or equivalency reference rather than guessing.
Note: An old directory without a ZIP should be searched first by its original street and locality wording, then compared to current parcel data.
Grand Island ZIP Code Directory Myth Check
Ferry Village, Grandyle Village, and Sandy Beach are meaningful Grand Island community names. They are not separately verified ZIP codes in the official sources reviewed. The useful search habit is to try the community label alongside a street or surname in historical material, then confirm the current delivery address with USPS and the parcel with GIS or the assessment roll.
The same care applies to supposed alternate ZIPs. Test the exact address with USPS and compare the Town or GIS record. Do not infer a local ZIP split from a nearby municipality or an unsourced county list. For an old letter, deed, or directory entry, preserve the original locality before updating the address. That small habit keeps a historic place name from being mistaken for an unsupported postal code. It keeps historical context useful without assigning it a current delivery role the evidence does not support.
