For decades, Fairview residents, businesses and local government operations have experienced a wide range of mail delivery and other mail-related problems due to the 75069 ZIP Code shared with McKinney. Fairview’s shared ZIP Code has resulted in delayed or misdelivered mail, package deliveries, and time-sensitive communications intended for Fairview addresses. The State of Texas Comptroller’s Office has accidentally remitted Town sales tax revenue to McKinney. Fairview officials and residents are also deeply concerned that online sales tax revenue could be directed to the wrong jurisdiction; residents and business owners could receive inaccurate insurance rates, and that inaccurate Census data may deprive the Town of access to federal and state grant opportunities. Fairview’s shared ZIP Code created confusion leading up to the March 2026 primary election when a large number of Fairview residents received voter registration cards indicating that they lived in the City of McKinney. Residents were concerned that the error could impact their ability to vote in the 2026 primary election and other elections. 
 
Fairview’s ongoing efforts to have the United States Postal Service (USPS) assign the Town a single unique ZIP Code and resolve its ZIP Code-related problems began in 2010. Fairview has gone through the required USPS ZIP Code Boundary Adjustment request process twice (allowed one request every 10 years), both of which were denied. Fairview has exhausted other options for relief relating to its ZIP Code related problems. In the 118^th Congress (2023-2024), with the support of U.S. Representative Keith Self, Fairview was included in a bill that would have resulted in Fairview receiving its own unique ZIP Code. The bill passed with bipartisan support in the U.S. House of Representatives; however, the bill ultimately died in the U.S. Senate due to the Senate failing to act on the bill prior to the end of the 118^th Congress. 
 
Fairview, with U.S. Representative Keith Self’s support and cosponsorship, was included in H.R.3095, which was filed in the 119th Congress (2025-2026) and which directed USPS to designate a single unique ZIP Code for Fairview and a limited number of other cities in Texas and across the U.S. In July 2025, H.R.3095 passed with bipartisan support in the U.S. House of Representatives. The ZIP Code bill is currently in U.S. Senate as S. 4505. The U.S. Senate referred S. 4505 to the Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee. Among other actions to solicit congressional support for S. 4505, town staff respectfully requests that Fairview residents interested in supporting S. 4505 complete and submit an electronic Letter of Support  by June 1. A pre-written letter accessible through this link. Town staff will share the letters it receives with congressional staff to convey the support Fairview residents have for this effort. Your time and support are greatly appreciated.
