What is Gilroy ZIP code 95020?

95020 is the ZIP code for street addresses in Gilroy and extends well outside the city. The Census Bureau delineates each street-address ZIP code as a ZIP Code Tabulation Area (ZCTA), and the boundaries are the Census estimate of the area covered by each ZIP code. The Census 95020 ZCTA includes the entire City of Gilroy plus a substantial area of surrounding unincorporated county.

According to the last U.S. Census Bureau count, there were 68,090 residents of the 95020 ZCTA, versus 59,520 residents of the City of Gilroy in the same count (city figure: Census QuickFacts). The difference is even more pronounced when comparing land areas. The Census estimates about 152 square miles of land in the 95020 ZCTA, versus approximately 16.5 square miles of land for the City of Gilroy. Hence the 95020 ZIP code covers roughly nine times the land area of the City, and the majority of the extra land is unincorporated Santa Clara County. Therefore, a home with a Gilroy, 95020 address is not necessarily within the City of Gilroy. One example is the Sprig entrance at Mount Madonna County Park (5302 Hecker Pass Highway), which has a Gilroy, 95020 address but is located outside the city, according to Census data. Use the Santa Clara County Assessor's property search to look up a specific parcel, and contact the City of Gilroy to determine if it is within city limits.

What is ZIP code 95021 used for?

95021 is the ZIP code for mail to PO Boxes in Gilroy, as listed by USPS. USPS does not deliver to street addresses under this ZIP code, so Gilroy homes for sale are listed under 95020. 95021 may appear on some websites' lists of Gilroy ZIP codes. It should not be confused with an area within the city of Gilroy.

The Census Bureau does not delineate an area for 95021, as there are no street addresses within it. The Gilroy post office is located at 100 4th Street, according to the USPS location finder, with a 95020 address.

Which school districts serve Gilroy ZIP code 95020?

According to the U.S. Census Bureau school district maps, the majority of the 95020 ZIP code is within Gilroy Unified School District. There is a small area within 95020 that lies within Morgan Hill Unified School District. Therefore, a home's school district will depend on its address.

The Gilroy Unified School District office is located at 7810 Arroyo Circle, and the California Department of Education designates Gilroy Unified as a Unified School District. There are four high schools in Gilroy Unified: Gilroy High, Christopher High, Dr. TJ Owens Gilroy Early College Academy and Mt. Madonna High (a continuation high school). Gilroy High is located at 750 West 10th Street and Christopher High on Day Road, and Census data places both within the 95020 area and within Gilroy Unified. A small area of 95020 is also within Morgan Hill Unified School District on the Census maps, but the maps do not name the streets in that area. You should confirm with the school district which schools a particular address is assigned to.

Many homebuyers will also reference sites such as GreatSchools and Niche for school ratings. However, those ratings will not determine school assignments, which are set by the applicable school district.

What changes from one part of 95020 to another?

Within the 95020 area, a home can be subject to different regulations depending on its street address, most notably whether it is within the City of Gilroy or outside city limits. Homes within city limits will be subject to City of Gilroy regulations and building permit processes. Outside the city limits, the County of Santa Clara will regulate planning and building permits.

Within the city, portions will be subject to specific plans, including the Glen Loma Ranch Specific Plan (about 360 acres) and the Hecker Pass Specific Plan (about 423 acres) as noted on CEQAnet. Downtown Gilroy centers along Monterey Street between Third and Eighth Streets, and includes the Downtown Historic District (a zoning designation) as part of the Downtown Specific Plan.

For homes outside the city limits, the County of Santa Clara Department of Planning and Development would be the appropriate agency to inquire regarding permits. The home may still have a Gilroy, CA mailing address.

The county tax bill will indicate any parcel taxes or assessments applicable to a home, and a sale can change the tax amount. Property taxes follow Proposition 13 and Proposition 19, as described by the California State Board of Equalization. See the SVRET buyer's guide for more information on the homebuying process.
