About ZIP Code 94296

The State of California operates under dedicated ZIP code 94296 in Sacramento County. California's state government, headquartered in Sacramento since 1854, encompasses the executive branch under the Governor, a bicameral Legislature meeting in the State Capitol, and a judiciary led by the Supreme Court of California. This unique postal designation facilitates correspondence with state agencies and officials serving the nation's most populous state.

Located in Downtown Sacramento within the Central Sacramento area, this ZIP serves California's seat of government. The USPS assigned this exclusive designation prior to 2004, though the state agency alias was added in September 2013. With only one delivery code on file and no named buildings in postal records, this appears to serve as a consolidated mailing address for specific state government functions. Census demographic data is not available, consistent with this designation's purely administrative function. Sacramento is the valid mailing city for correspondence to this ZIP code.
