The U.S. Postal Service establishes ZIP codes for efficient mail delivery, Queen Creek ZIP code boundaries do not always match the Town of Queen Creek’s incorporated municipal boundaries. This has caused a great deal of confusion over the years because the services provided outside of Town limits are very different than those provided to residents within the Town of Queen Creek. Areas outside the incorporated Town limits are often referred to as Queen Creek since the “Queen Creek” name is used in property mailing addresses assigned by the post office.
The unincorporated areas of Pinal County, known as San Tan Valley, have never been in the Town limits of Queen Creek. However, some areas are included within the Town’s planning area, which extends beyond the Town’s official boundaries. To stop providing services to an area within its incorporated area, the Town would have to “deannex” the area. The Town of Queen Creek has never ” de-annexed” any property.
For example, residents within the Town of Queen Creek:
– Receive emergency services from the Queen Creek Fire & Medical Department and the Queen Creek Police Department
– Curbside trash and recycling services from the Town of Queen Creek
– Vote in Town of Queen Creek elections
Some examples of services received by residents in the San Tan Valley area include:
– Receive emergency services from Rural/Metro and the Pinal County Sheriff’s
