Fayetteville NC ZIP Codes: Full List and Map Guide (2026)

The table below lists each code with its delivery type, based on ZIP-Codes.com's USPS-based listing. Use it to check whether an address is inside city limits before you compare taxes, schools or utilities.

Every Fayetteville-area ZIP code at a glance

The table below covers every ZIP that carries a Fayetteville, Fort Bragg or Pope Army Airfield mailing address. Types and USPS city names come from ZIP-Codes.com's Cumberland County list; 2020 Census populations come from its Fayetteville city page. The "share inside city limits" column is our calculation from the U.S. Census Bureau's 2020 ZCTA-to-place relationship file, measured by land area, and it is only given for ZIPs that have a Census ZIP Code Tabulation Area (PO-box ZIPs do not).

ZIP	Type	USPS city	2020 pop.	Anchors and areas inside the ZIP	Share of land inside Fayetteville city limits
28301	Standard	Fayetteville	17,670	Downtown and City Hall (433 Hay St), Fayetteville State University at 1200 Murchison Rd	About 100%
28302	PO box only	Fayetteville	0	Post office boxes, no street delivery	n/a
28303	Standard	Fayetteville	30,842	Cross Creek Mall (419 Cross Creek Mall), Fayetteville Technical Community College (2201 Hull Rd)	100%
28304	Standard	Fayetteville	37,120	Cape Fear Valley Medical Center (1638 Owen Dr) and the surrounding Owen Drive area	About 92%; small slivers in Hope Mills and Hoke County

28306	Standard	Fayetteville	44,615	Fayetteville Regional Airport (400 Airport Rd), Jack Britt High School (7403 Rockfish Rd)	About 16%; also reaches into Bladen and Hoke counties
28307	Standard	Fort Bragg (Fayetteville accepted)	14,426	On-post neighborhoods of Fort Bragg	See Fort Bragg section
28308	Standard	Pope Army Airfield (Fayetteville accepted)	337	Pope Army Airfield	See Fort Bragg section
28309	PO box only	Fayetteville	0	Post office boxes, no street delivery	n/a
28310	Unique (military)	Fort Bragg	n/a	Unit and building addresses on the installation, including Womack Army Medical Center (2817 Rock Merritt Ave)	See Fort Bragg section
28311	Standard	Fayetteville	36,302	Methodist University (5400 Ramsey St) and the north Ramsey Street corridor	About 33%
28312	Standard	Fayetteville	19,723	Eastern Cumberland County, including the town of Eastover and the Vander area	About 3%; about 14% of its land is in Bladen County
28314	Standard	Fayetteville	54,271	West side along Cliffdale Road, including the Cliffdale Regional Library (6882 Cliffdale Rd)	About 100%

A few patterns stand out for movers:

• 28314, 28306, 28304 and 28311 hold most of the residents. Together they account for roughly 172,000 of the people counted in Fayetteville-address ZIPs in 2020, per the ZIP-Codes.com figures.
• 28305 is tiny. At about 2.6 square miles of land in the Census relationship file, it is the smallest Fayetteville ZIP and sits entirely inside the city. If you want an older, walkable neighborhood near downtown, start with our Haymount Historic District guide.
• 28306 and 28312 are mostly rural. 28306 covers about 70 square miles and 28312 about 164 square miles of land, yet only small fractions sit inside city limits. A "Fayetteville, NC 28312" address is often a county address.

How to find your exact ZIP code (and your ZIP+4)

1. Use the USPS lookup. The USPS ZIP Code Lookup returns the five-digit ZIP and the full nine-digit ZIP+4 for a specific street address. This is the authoritative answer for mail, and it is the fastest way to get the "9-digit ZIP" that some military, bank and government forms ask for.
2. Check the lease or deed, then confirm with USPS. Listing sites sometimes default a whole subdivision to one ZIP. Confirm before you file a change of address, register a vehicle or enroll children.
3. Do not use the ZIP to guess school assignment. School assignment is based on the street address, and ZIP lines are drawn for mail routes. Confirm the assigned school for the exact address with Cumberland County Schools before you sign a lease.

ZIP code vs. city limits vs. Cumberland County

A ZIP code is a USPS delivery route, not a government boundary. That matters in Fayetteville because three different lines overlap:

• The ZIP code decides the city name printed on your mail.
• Fayetteville city limits decide whether you pay city property taxes and receive city services such as Fayetteville Police Department patrol.
• Cumberland County covers everything in the table above except the parts of 28304 and 28306 that cross into Hoke County and the parts of 28306 and 28312 that cross into Bladen County, according to the Census ZCTA-to-county file.

Because only about 16% of 28306, 33% of 28311 and 3% of 28312 fall inside the city (by land area, 2020 Census geography), many households with a "Fayetteville" mailing address actually live in unincorporated Cumberland County or a small town. Outside city limits, patrol comes from the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office Operations Division, which covers the county's unincorporated areas plus Stedman, Godwin, Wade, Falcon, Eastover and Linden.

A practical way to check whether an address is inside the city is the Fayetteville Police Department's crime map, which the city describes as covering crime "within the city limits of Fayetteville" on its Crime Data & Information page. For a definitive answer on a specific parcel, ask the seller, landlord or closing attorney for the property's tax jurisdiction.

Fort Bragg ZIP codes: 28307, 28308 and 28310

The installation was renamed Fort Bragg on February 14, 2025, honoring Pfc. Roland L. Bragg, per the Army's announcement. It had carried the name Fort Liberty from 2023 until then. Three ZIP codes serve the post:

• 28310 (unique, military). This is the ZIP for unit and building addresses on Fort Bragg. ZIP-Codes.com lists Fort Bragg as the city and notes that Fort Liberty remains an accepted alias, so older paperwork showing "Fort Liberty, NC 28310" still delivers. Unit addresses are building-specific, so get the exact format from the unit or its mail clerk; the post's Official Postal Center trains unit mail clerks and inspects unit mailrooms.
• 28307 (standard). Street delivery with Fort Bragg as the USPS city; Fayetteville and Fort Liberty are accepted aliases, per ZIP-Codes.com. It had 14,426 residents in the 2020 Census.
• 28308 (standard). Pope Army Airfield, with Fayetteville accepted as an alias, per ZIP-Codes.com.

If you are deciding between on-post and off-post housing, compare our military housing options guide and off-post housing and BAH guide. Before your first trip onto the installation, read Fort Bragg visitor access and the gates and commute guide, and keep the Fort Bragg relocation guide handy for in-processing.

ZIP codes for nearby towns

Many military families shop for homes just outside Fayetteville. These towns have their own ZIP codes and their own USPS city names (types from ZIP-Codes.com's county list; county splits from the Census ZCTA-to-county file):

ZIP	USPS city	Notes
28348	Hope Mills	Standard ZIP south of Fayetteville; entirely in Cumberland County. See Hope Mills and Gray's Creek.
28390	Spring Lake	Standard ZIP next to Fort Bragg; about 52% of its land is in Harnett County, including part of Anderson Creek. See Spring Lake and Anderson Creek.
28391	Stedman	Standard ZIP east of Fayetteville.
28356	Linden	Standard ZIP north of Fayetteville; about 21% of its land is in Harnett County.
28395	Wade	Standard ZIP northeast of Fayetteville.
28342	Falcon	PO box ZIP for the town of Falcon.
28376	Raeford	Hoke County ZIP west of Fayetteville.

One more naming wrinkle: the Jack Britt High School area south of the city carries Fayetteville 28306 addresses, yet only about 16% of 28306's land is inside the city. Our Jack Britt and Rockfish guide covers that part of the county.

Quick tips for movers

• Update the right address everywhere. Use the exact USPS city name your ZIP expects. Fort Bragg housing addresses should read Fort Bragg, NC, even though Fayetteville is accepted on 28307 and 28308.
• Budget by jurisdiction, not ZIP. Two homes in 28306 can sit on opposite sides of the city line, which changes the tax bill. Our cost of living guide helps with the wider budget.
• Plan your commute by gate, not ZIP. A 28311 address near Ramsey Street and a 28314 address off Cliffdale Road lead to very different drives. Use the commute and transportation guide to test routes before you sign.
• Downtown and 28301. If you want to live near restaurants and events, our downtown guide covers the blocks around Hay Street. For the broader picture of moving here, start at Relocation or the Fort Bragg hub, and veterans can find benefits resources on our veterans page.
