Paris Township ZIP Code Coverage
Paris Township does not have one verified township-wide postal boundary list. The documented examples below are address-specific postal evidence. They should guide a search, but they do not prove that every address sharing the same ZIP lies in the township. Postal geography is run by USPS, while the County's parcel maps and the Recorder's legal descriptions identify the land record geography.
That distinction is visible in the Ravenna label used for township physical addresses. Hawley Cemetery and the fiscal officer are documented Paris Township examples with a Ravenna postal city. The City of Ravenna and Paris Township remain different government areas. The Wayland example is a township service mailing route, not a proven delivery ZIP for a particular house.
| ZIP code | Areas covered | Post office | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 44266 - Ravenna | Verified Paris Township physical examples include Hawley Cemetery and township officials. | Ravenna postal designation | Its postal city extends beyond the municipality; verify each full address. |
| 44285 - Wayland | Township address-sign form uses P.O. Box 28. | Wayland USPS location | A P.O. box mailing route does not establish a physical parcel's delivery ZIP. |
| 44444 - Newton Falls | Nearby postal-facility route only. | Newton Falls area facility | No representative Paris Township USPS result was captured; test the specific street. |
A ZIP code is a delivery route. It is not an outline of Paris Township, a count of households, or proof that a person receives mail at an address.
Note: Preserve the complete USPS result with the address you tested, because a ZIP label alone cannot resolve a township boundary question.
Paris Township ZIP Code Address Checks
USPS ZIP Code Lookup is the verified first stop for a particular Paris Township delivery address. It has a route for ZIP Code by Address, a route for ZIP Code by City and State, and a Cities by ZIP Code route. USPS warns that an address result does not confirm that a named person or organization receives mail there. Enter the physical address rather than assuming a Ravenna, Wayland, or Newton Falls label tells the full story.
| Company | Optional field in the ZIP Code by Address form; it does not establish a recipient. |
|---|---|
| Street Address | Required practical input for a specific delivery check. |
| Apt/Suite/Other | Optional field when it is part of the delivery address. |
| City | Enter the postal city used for the address being tested. |
| State | Select or enter Ohio with the city and street input. |
| Find | Submits the address lookup. |

The form supports postal verification for a specific address. It should not be used as evidence of township jurisdiction, parcel ownership, or who lives at the address.
Paris Township ZIP Code Postal References
USPS also provides the AIS Viewer for official ZIP and ZIP+4, city-state, county, delivery-statistics, and address-quality reference work. That makes it useful when an address needs a more precise postal check or when a ZIP+4 result is needed for mail-quality research. It remains a postal reference service, not a parcel-ownership or resident source.
The USPS AIS Viewer is the official postal-reference tool shown here.
Use this type of postal output beside, not instead of, the County GIS township layer and the recorded legal description for a disputed or edge-area address.
Finding Paris Township Records by ZIP Code
A ZIP can narrow the starting area, but the verified Portage tools do not support a complete ZIP-wide resident search. The Auditor/Beacon has property and parcel-address routes, yet no ZIP filter was live-verified. The County GIS and Tax Map routes provide parcel and address geography. The Portage voter lookup is a name form, while the report generator has election and precinct controls, not a verified ZIP-wide mode. Work from one confirmed address or parcel rather than claiming a ZIP produces all residents.
- Confirm the delivery ZIP and postal city with USPS using the complete physical address.
- Use the address or parcel number in the Portage County Auditor/Beacon and GIS routes to identify the situs address, parcel, map, and legal-description trail.
- Compare the County GIS township context with the parcel card. Keep the owner mailing address separate from the physical situs address.
- For a dated election-record question, use the appropriate Portage voter form or report controls and keep its date and filters with the result.
- Use the Recorder's grantor/grantee index to test a transfer after the parcel and legal description identify the same land.
Once a ZIP-based check narrows the area to a named road, use the Paris Township street directory for the full address-keyed record chain. That workflow stays focused on parcels and official records rather than treating a postal label as a household census.
Note: No verified Beacon ZIP filter or complete Paris Township boundary map was captured, so an address and parcel remain the safe starting keys.
Paris Township ZIP Code and Parcel Keys
The Portage County Auditor/Beacon record separates several values that are often confused in a ZIP search: parcel number, map number, location address, legal description, owner address, and tax payer address. The location or situs address is the physical parcel. An owner or tax payer mailing address can be elsewhere. The legal description is the recorded lot, block, subdivision, or metes-and-bounds description that carries the land interest through deeds.
The GIS viewer connects that parcel to tax maps, surveys, plats, and nearby parcel geography. The Recorder then supplies the grantor, grantee, recording date, instrument number, and book or page for a conveyance. Its online index begins in 1979, printable images begin in 2001, and older research requires the Recorder counter, historical books, or archives. A ZIP does not replace any of these parcel keys.
- ZIP code
- A postal delivery code that helps route mail. It does not draw a township or property boundary.
- ZIP+4
- An added postal segment that refines delivery sorting for an address or address range.
- P.O. box ZIP
- A ZIP used for post-office-box mail. It does not prove the delivery ZIP of a physical parcel.
- Carrier route
- A USPS delivery grouping used for mail operations, not a government or land-record district.
Paris Township ZIP Code Boundary Mismatch
The local mismatch is straightforward: a Ravenna postal city on a Paris Township address does not mean the parcel sits in the City of Ravenna. Hawley Cemetery at 5881 McClintocksburg Road and the township fiscal officer at 9174 Newton Falls Road are documented physical examples bearing Ravenna, Ohio 44266. They establish the postal label for those addresses, not a line around every 44266 address.
The Wayland P.O. box on the township address-sign form is another useful caution. It shows the mailing route used for that service, not a delivery-area conclusion for all nearby homes. For an edge address, retain three separate records: the exact USPS response, the County GIS parcel and township layer, and the Recorder legal description. A disagreement is a reason to investigate, not a reason to choose the easiest label.
Paris Township ZIP Code Address Authority
For a newly divided or developed parcel, the documented County sequence begins after the deed transfer and recording steps. The applicant receives the recorded instrument number, then returns to Tax Map to apply for a house number. The procedure requires approximate building size and placement, and the research found no house-number charge. Tax Map is the address-assignment route named in the process.
The township address-sign form serves a different purpose. It asks for a name, phone number, address, number digits, marker color, sign position, and quantity, with a $15-per-sign total. It directs payment to the Paris Firefighters Association and offers a Wayland mailing route. That form documents physical number display, not a public address-search database or a second numbering authority.
The Wayland USPS location is the source for the postal facility shown in this Paris Township ZIP code directory image.
The image supports the identified Wayland mailing context only. It does not establish a ZIP boundary or a physical delivery assignment for a Paris Township parcel.
Note: Keep the address-sign form, postal label, Tax Map number, and deed legal description as separate pieces of the same address trail.
Paris Township ZIP Code Rural Geography
Paris Township is a rural Portage County township with 23.6 square miles reported on the county asset map. The 2020 governmental-units report gives 1,648 people and 643 households, while Ohio's July 2024 estimate is 1,669. Those figures describe the township at a stated time. They are not ZIP-level totals and should never be turned into a list of current residents.
State Routes 5 and 225 are county-managed under the township community-services information, while local roads, cemetery, fire, zoning, and township contacts have different local handoffs. This overlapping geography is why a record may begin with the township, the County, a nearby postal city, or an archive. Use Paris Township, Portage County in every request to distinguish it from the Ohio townships of the same name in Stark and Union Counties.
Paris Township ZIP Code Directory Limits
No authoritative static source located a complete township ZIP map, a ZIP realignment history, ZIP-level population statistic, or a verified ZIP search control for Beacon/GIS. The safe statement is therefore address-specific: confirm a physical address through USPS, compare it with the Auditor/GIS parcel record, and carry the legal description to the Recorder for land history. Do not publish an assumed list of every ZIP that serves the township.
Township, county, and state access channels remain available when a web tool is insufficient. The County GIS and Auditor counters support parcel and map questions, the Recorder counter supports older instruments, and the Township can address retained zoning or local service records through its named contacts or a targeted Ohio Public Records Act request. Ask for an existing record by address, parcel, date, or legal description. A custodian need not create a ZIP-wide directory or infer residency from a postal label.
