Moon Township ZIP Code Coverage
Official Township and County materials verify one operational code for Moon Township municipal addresses: 15108. That is the only ZIP code substantiated for Moon Township in the research. It is a useful mailing and locality label, not a Township-shaped polygon. No current official USPS result screen was captured that identifies every delivery area, the delivery post office, a special-use code, or every edge condition. It would be inaccurate to fill the gap with adjacent codes from a commercial map.
| ZIP code | Verified Moon connection | Postal-city or post-office evidence | Research use |
|---|---|---|---|
| 15108 | Moon Township municipal addresses and County community context use this code. | No current official USPS delivery-office result or full service polygon was captured. | Verify an individual mailing address with USPS, then confirm its municipality in County GIS. |
A Township history page carries the local context behind the verified Moon address information.
The Township source supports place context, while an individual delivery address still needs USPS and County verification.
Moon Township ZIP Code Directory: 15108
The useful claim is narrow: 15108 is the verified Moon Township ZIP code in the local official sources reviewed. It should not be expanded into a claim that every 15108 mailing address lies inside Moon Township or that every address physically in Moon must display one postal city name. The research specifically notes that a Coraopolis-style postal designation can be attached to an address that is physically in Moon Township, and that 15108 is used around multiple municipal areas.
The Census QuickFacts profile is one official context source for Moon Township, but it does not draw a Postal Service delivery boundary.
Municipal data and ZIP geography overlap in everyday addresses, yet they serve different records questions and should be recorded separately.
Note: Do not treat the lack of a captured USPS delivery map as proof that an adjacent ZIP serves Moon Township.
Verify a Moon Township ZIP Code
Use a three-part workflow when a Moon mailing city, ZIP, and property record do not line up. USPS answers whether a mailing address is deliverable and how it is standardized. Moon Township is the local authority for an address assignment or correction. County Address Management maintains the countywide 911 dataset used by emergency response, Property Assessments, and Real Estate. The GIS Viewer then confirms municipal and parcel context.
- Run the full mailing address through USPS ZIP Lookup. Preserve the returned mailing city and ZIP exactly as a delivery result.
- If the municipal address itself appears wrong, ask Moon Township to review the local designation. The County cannot make that municipal assignment decision.
- Check the County address and GIS records after the municipal decision. Use the parcel, PIN, map-block-lot, and municipality to connect the place to County systems.
- Use the resulting street address or parcel number in the Real Estate Portal. Do not attempt to replace this step with a ZIP-only property search.
This sequence handles a city/ZIP mismatch without guessing whether a postal label changes the jurisdiction of a property.
Moon Township Address Correction Roles
County Address Management maintains property addresses in one countywide dataset. Its data feeds 911 emergency services, Property Assessments, and Real Estate. Yet the County says only the local municipality can assign or correct an address. That split is crucial for postal research: the Postal Service standardizes delivery, Moon Township decides the local address, and County systems carry that address into geographic and property functions.
The Township’s service-routing page is the source shown below and helps direct a request to the right local channel.
The Township’s service-routing material is useful for reaching the correct local channel, especially when a request concerns a specific municipal record rather than a County parcel.
Moon’s published municipal building contact is 412-262-1700. The County Address Management source gives the County office location and its 412-350-7606 contact. Contact the local municipality first for a correction decision, then confirm the County’s downstream data.
Moon Township ZIP Code Search Fields
ZIP-capable government controls do exist, but their subject matters differ. The County Real Estate Portal has Address and Parcel Number modes only. Its address form includes house number, street name, and optional municipality, not ZIP. The GIS Viewer has address search and map browsing, but no verified ZIP filter was exposed. UJS Case Search is the documented public portal that includes a Parcel ZIP field, and it searches court dockets rather than property ownership or a local resident list.
The UJS Case Search is the source for the advanced court fields below. Select Allegheny County when a local docket needs narrowing.
| UJS advanced field | Field type | ZIP-related use | Limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Advanced Search | Toggle | Reveals extended case criteria. | It does not create a property search. |
| County | Dropdown | Narrows a docket search to Allegheny. | A County filter is not proof of a Moon address. |
| Parcel Number | Text | Connects a known parcel to court-case criteria. | Use a County-controlled identifier where known. |
| Parcel Address and City | Text | Supplies property-linked docket filters. | Results are cases, not a residents directory. |
| Parcel ZIP Code | Text | Lets a case search include a postal code. | It cannot identify everyone who receives mail in that ZIP. |
| Parcel Municipality | Dropdown or text control | Separates a municipal place from the postal field. | Public docket access can be limited or delayed. |
The UJS page is free and printable for public docket sheets, but it warns that recent entries may lag and that its docket information is not an official criminal-history record.
Note: A parcel field narrows a court-case query only, and it does not establish ownership, residency, or mailing delivery.
Limits of the Moon Township ZIP Directory
A ZIP is not a local person or property filter in the County tools examined. The property portal cannot perform a ZIP-wide query. It needs an address or parcel number. The GIS Viewer can locate an address and show nearby parcels, but no verified ZIP search field was captured. A court docket can include a Parcel ZIP field, yet a court case is not a list of people who live in that delivery area.
PA DHS Provider Search is also ZIP-capable, but it is a provider-enrollment directory. Its city or ZIP result identifies a provider location, not a Moon Township resident. Use each portal for the record it actually holds. Once a ZIP has narrowed the place, use the Moon Township street directory for the address and parcel workflow.
Moon Township ZIP Terms
Several address labels can appear in the same record without meaning the same thing. Reading them separately avoids treating a lender’s correspondence line, a postal city, or a legal description as a current physical location. These terms are especially useful when property and ZIP results point in different directions.
- ZIP and ZIP+4
- A ZIP directs mail to a delivery area. ZIP+4 adds a more precise delivery segment; neither is a municipal boundary.
- PO-box ZIP
- A code used for postal boxes rather than a general physical-delivery area. No Moon Township PO-box-only code was verified in the research.
- Unique ZIP
- A code assigned to a particular institution or organization. No unique Moon Township ZIP was verified in the research.
- Carrier route
- A Postal Service delivery grouping. It is a routing concept, not a Township district or a parcel boundary.
- Situs
- The physical property location. It differs from owner mailing, tax mailing, and a deed’s legal description.
Moon Township Postal and City Boundaries
The ZIP versus municipality distinction is a practical records rule. A postal city label may be Coraopolis even though the physical property is in Moon Township. Conversely, 15108 is used around multiple local municipal areas. Retain both facts in a research note: the USPS mailing city and ZIP, then the municipality displayed by County GIS. Replacing one with the other can distort a title search or a request for municipal records.
Moon’s current planning and department resources give municipal place context after the County check. The Township departments source identifies the local property, planning, and code-enforcement role.
Those departments address municipal functions. They do not turn neighborhood names or planning overlays into USPS ZIP boundaries.
Note: Retain both the postal city and the GIS municipality when either field is needed for a County or Township request.
Original Moon Township Postal Confusion
The local geography caution reaches beyond a current mailing label. Original Moon Township began in 1788 with 143 square miles and later produced 55 municipalities, including Coraopolis and neighboring townships. An older deed, directory, map, or postal locality may therefore use a place name outside modern Moon even when it relates to the historical township area. Keep the original jurisdiction and date in the record note.
For an older address, use the plan reference, legal description, historic map, and County map-block-lot or PIN to map forward. No authoritative townshipwide renumbering, renamed-street table, or readdressing year was found. The absence of a verified table is a reason not to manufacture a modern street-number conversion.
Moon Township Postal Place Context
Mooncrest, Carnot Village, and University Boulevard are helpful place descriptors, not separate postal codes. The Township zoning material identifies University Boulevard/Carnot Village, Mixed Use Educational, and Airport overlays. Mooncrest was a 1943 war-production community and became a local historic district in 2005. The Township’s historical survey identified 147 resources across 14 neighborhoods. These labels can guide a request for a planning or historic-review record, but they should not be entered as postal subdivisions.
The Pennsylvania courts public-records guidance is useful when a ZIP-capable UJS search points to a docket that needs a court-custodian follow-up.
Use court records only for their documented case purpose, and keep a postal ZIP separate from municipal, parcel, and court identifiers.
The Fifth Judicial District has no separately identified Moon municipal-court portal in the official sources. A needed file should be routed through the appropriate Allegheny court office after a docket is identified.
Moon Township Postal Boundaries
ZIP boundaries do not match Moon Township limits. The dependable approach is to verify mailing deliverability with USPS, then verify the physical municipality with the County’s GIS and Address Management tools. A County property search begins with address or parcel data, and a municipal file request begins with a concrete address and record type. That is more reliable than treating a ZIP as proof of place or as a way to identify everyone associated with it.
County court records are another separate channel. The Fifth Judicial District Civil Division information gives the County court context for an identified case. It does not establish a postal boundary.
Note: When a ZIP and municipality disagree, record both values and let the appropriate custodian resolve the field it maintains.
The court image supports the distinction between a case-information channel and the postal or parcel tools used to verify a Moon Township address.
