Windsor ZIP Code Coverage
The research verifies one standard ZIP serving Windsor: 95492. The official Windsor Post Office is at 8800 Lakewood Drive, Windsor, CA 95492-7206. Retail hours are listed as Monday through Friday, 8:30 to 5, with PO-box access at all hours. The ZIP serves incorporated Windsor and postal-route territory around it, so the number alone cannot prove a parcel is inside the Town.
| ZIP | Areas covered | Post office | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 95492 | Incorporated Windsor plus surrounding postal-route territory | Windsor, 8800 Lakewood Drive | Verify Town or county jurisdiction parcel by parcel |
No Windsor PO-box-only or unique institutional ZIP was located, and no official ZIP split or realignment was verified in the research. That gap matters. A ZIP code directory should not invent a second row just to make a table look full. Use USPS for the mail result and GIS for the boundary question.
Windsor ZIP Code 95492 at Post Office
The Windsor Post Office at 8800 Lakewood Drive is the clearest physical reference for ZIP 95492. The USPS listing gives the facility address, phone 707-838-6531, retail hours Monday through Friday from 8:30 to 5, and PO-box access all day. Those details describe delivery service, not the Town boundary. A ZIP code directory should state the one verified standard ZIP and then point to parcel-level checking.
For a mail question, use the USPS result. For a property question, keep the ZIP beside the street address and APN. For a resident question, switch to the custodian that can answer the claim. A ZIP can narrow a search while still leaving the legal jurisdiction unresolved.

Verify a Windsor ZIP by Address
The USPS ZIP Code Lookup has two useful modes. Find by Address takes a street address, apartment or suite, city, and state. Cities by ZIP Code works in the opposite direction. Enter the full mailing form, review the returned ZIP, and save the result date. If a parcel search later uses a different city label, keep both strings because postal presentation and legal situs can diverge.
Do not infer a parcel’s Town status from the city field. Open the county map, click the polygon, and compare the jurisdiction or district layer. Then use the APN or address with the Assessor. ZIP 95492 is the filter for the mail route; it is not a public resident directory.
| USPS mode | Search fields | Windsor use |
|---|---|---|
| Find by Address | Street address, apartment or suite, city, state | Confirm the mailing ZIP attached to a full Windsor address |
| Cities by ZIP Code | ZIP code | Check the postal city presentation for 95492 |
The USPS ZIP Code Lookup provides address-to-ZIP and city-to-ZIP modes.
Windsor ZIP Code Geography
Nothing in the verified Windsor research provides a public ZIP-wide list of residents. The assessor is address and APN based. The GIS viewer is parcel based. The current voter self-check is identity gated. A file request may contain residence or mailing ZIP fields only for a permitted purpose, with security and use rules. A ZIP code directory can explain the geography and the handoff, but it should not turn a postal route into a roster.
Other statewide tools also return narrow records. The California Megan’s Law site uses name, address, map, or radius modes for a defined registry. Its result has statutory exclusions and anti-harassment warnings. It is not a ZIP resident list. Use a source because it matches the record question, not because it happens to accept a ZIP or map.
The California Megan’s Law search illustrates a specialized statewide lookup with its own legal limits.
The record handoff is deliberate. USPS validates the mailing form and ZIP. County GIS and local planning, public works, or emergency-address systems help identify jurisdiction and situs. The Assessor maintains the APN and tax parcel context. The Recorder follows the legal description and recorded instruments. A single address can therefore carry several labels without any one office being wrong.
No verified source identifies a Windsor ZIP split, realignment, second standard ZIP, or published ZIP-wide voter count. That gap is useful evidence. A ZIP directory should state what is known, then move to parcel or record-level sources instead of inferring a roster. A CPRA request may seek an existing Town address-assignment or administrative record, but it cannot require staff to create a new resident list.
For a property or family-history question, keep the USPS result as the first dated clue, then record the GIS layer name, APN, situs, and whether the parcel falls inside the Town. If a permit or deed uses another city string, retain that spelling in the source note. Address normalization helps a search, but the original source wording remains evidence.
Professional Records by Windsor ZIP
A ZIP can help narrow a professional or business lookup, but the result still describes an address of record. The California Department of Consumer Affairs search accepts board or bureau, license type, name, number, city, and county. A sample result can show licensee or business name, license type and number, status, address of record, issue and expiration, secondary status, and public discipline links.
California’s Secretary of State bizfile and Sonoma fictitious-business-name records add entity context. An agent or premises address may be outside the person’s residence. Use a license or entity record to verify a credential or affiliation, then keep the ZIP, city, and address fields labeled for what they actually represent.
The California DCA License Search is the official source for the ZIP-adjacent professional fields.
Windsor ZIP Lookup: Last-City Clues
The California Controller’s unclaimed-property search accepts last name, first or business name, and city. A result may show a last-reported owner name, city, property, and reporting holder. It can help with an heir clue or a former address trail, but it is not proof of a current Windsor residence. A claim requires proof of identity or ownership through the Controller’s process.
Use 95492 or Windsor only as a clue, then compare the name with a deed, obituary, probate file, business record, or directory. A last-reported city is historical data. It is useful precisely because it can connect a name to another source, not because it closes the resident lookup.
The California unclaimed-property search is the official name-and-city tool described in the research inventory.
Find Windsor Records by ZIP Code
ZIP is a useful first filter for mail, but Sonoma’s core property tools are keyed to address or APN. The assessor form does not expose a public ZIP-wide owner list. GIS can show the parcel and layers around an address. My Voter Status verifies a single voter and cannot browse ZIP residents. An approved voter-file recipient may work with residence data for a permitted purpose, but may not republish it as a ZIP roster.
- Run the USPS ZIP Code Lookup by street address, apartment or suite, city, and state.
- Confirm 95492 as the returned mail ZIP, then use the Sonoma GIS Hub to check Town or county jurisdiction.
- Carry the exact address or APN into the assessor search, rather than assuming ZIP is a search field.
- Move to permits, deeds, court, library, or a narrow records request based on the actual question.
Once 95492 narrows the mail geography to an address, the Windsor street directory workflow takes over. It follows the parcel, APN, deed chain, permit history, and dated historical sources without claiming that a ZIP alone names residents.
ZIP Code Versus Windsor Town Lines
A ZIP code follows USPS delivery geography, not the legal edge of the Town. An address using Windsor, CA 95492 may be outside incorporated Windsor, while a parcel inside the Town still needs the correct situs and APN for county records. GIS, local planning, public works, and emergency-address systems carry the jurisdiction detail. The assessor maintains tax parcel identity. The recorder follows a legal description. USPS validates the mailing form.
- ZIP versus ZIP+4
- A five-digit delivery area versus the extra four digits that narrow a route or delivery point.
- PO-box ZIP
- A ZIP used for post-office boxes or a postal facility; no separate Windsor-only PO-box ZIP was verified here.
- Unique ZIP
- A ZIP assigned to one large institution or organization; no Windsor unique ZIP was located.
- Carrier route
- A postal delivery path inside a ZIP, not a municipal boundary or resident list.
Windsor’s history adds another layer. The railroad shifted the commercial center in the 1870s, Old Redwood Highway was paved in 1915, the early 1980s brought a building boom, and incorporation came in 1992. The Town Green grid and older railroad or rural parcels can therefore use different address clues even within one postal ZIP.
A postal city string can remain stable while the legal parcel, road authority, or record custodian changes. Preserve the full USPS result beside the APN, situs, and jurisdiction note. That small habit keeps a Windsor ZIP search from quietly turning a delivery label into a claim about land, town status, or residence.
