Cleburne Postal Coverage
Cleburne’s two postal ZIPs are 76031 and 76033. Both are tied to the Cleburne delivery area, but a mailing label does not mark the city boundary. The Cleburne ZIP code directory should therefore begin with USPS delivery information, then move to county parcel data and city mapping if the question concerns a specific property. Nearby stations and generalized Census geography can make a search result look broader than the city’s postal service.
| Postal ZIP | Areas covered | Post office | Record-search note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 76031 | Cleburne delivery area and nearby rural or legacy place-name context in postal materials | Cleburne Main Office, 201 Faircrest Dr. | Part of its delivery area was realigned to 76033 in 2002. Do not equate a mailing label with city limits. |
| 76033 | Cleburne delivery area, including much of current city mailing use | Cleburne Main Office, 201 Faircrest Dr. | Expanded delivery absorbed part of 76031 effective January 16, 2002. |
USPS lists the Cleburne Main Office at 201 Faircrest Dr., Cleburne, TX 76033, with phone 817-645-3991 and retail hours Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Cleburne office is a delivery reference, while the Johnson County Clerk, Johnson CAD, and Cleburne city GIS keep Cleburne property and jurisdiction records that explain a Cleburne address.
Note: A Cleburne postal listing confirms delivery context, but the county parcel record remains the stronger identifier for a specific property.
Cleburne Post Office at 76033
The USPS Cleburne Post Office listing confirms the Main Office address, 76033 association, phone number, and retail schedule. It also shows nearby postal locations such as Burleson, Cityview Fort Worth, Keene, Rio Vista, and Joshua. Those nearby locations do not make 76028, 76132, 76059, 76093, or 76058 Cleburne city ZIPs. A nearby-station list is useful for mail service, but it is not municipal geography.
The USPS listing anchors 76033 to a real Cleburne postal location. It cannot establish which Cleburne parcels are inside city limits or identify everyone receiving mail along Cleburne delivery routes.
Cleburne’s 2002 ZIP Realignment
Postal history matters when the same Cleburne address appears under different codes over time. A USPS Postal Bulletin states that a portion of Cleburne deliveries previously using 76031 was realigned to 76033 on January 16, 2002. The Cleburne 76033 delivery area expanded as part of that change. Search both numbers when checking older Cleburne mail, newspaper notices, historical directories, or tax material. The change in postal labeling is not evidence that a person moved.
The bulletin supplies a documented date for the Cleburne boundary change. Pair that date with a Cleburne parcel’s legal description and map location before drawing conclusions from older and newer address lines.
For a historic Cleburne record that uses a rural route, a nearby place name, or an older street label, add the county, lot and block, subdivision, or legal description to the search. Johnson County GIS assigns Cleburne emergency 9-1-1 street addresses, and the recorded plat is a stronger Cleburne continuity source than a postal line alone. No official Cleburne street-renumbering schedule was located in the research, so a changed number should not be presumed to be a renumbering.
Note: Search Cleburne records under both postal labels when their date falls near or before the documented 2002 realignment.
Cleburne Postal Codes and Census ZCTAs
Census geography uses ZIP Code Tabulation Areas, known as ZCTAs, to generalize Cleburne mailing areas for statistical work. A Cleburne ZCTA is not the USPS delivery file. Census QuickFacts results can surface 76031, 76033, 76044, and 76058 as Cleburne-related matches, but the research supports listing only 76031 and 76033 as the postal ZIPs serving Cleburne. The extra Cleburne ZCTA matches show why a broad Census result must not be treated as a city postal directory.
Census QuickFacts for Cleburne reports city-wide demographic context, not delivery-route counts. It reports a 2020 Census population of 31,352 and a July 2025 estimate of 39,942; the different figures should be labeled by their source and date rather than used as resident-directory totals.
The QuickFacts view helps distinguish city statistics from postal geography. It does not set the delivery boundary for a Cleburne address and does not provide a searchable resident roster.
QuickFacts also reports 2.90 persons per household for 2020-2024, 89.1 percent of residents living in the same house one year earlier, and 91.4 percent with a broadband subscription. Those city-level figures add context to how often an address may remain stable, but they cannot be assigned to either postal area. The city’s 25.7 percent language-other-than-English-at-home figure is similarly a Cleburne-wide estimate, not a delivery-route count. Keep Census statistics separate from USPS service labels and county parcel records.
Cleburne Postal Search Limits
The local official record tools do not publish a ZIP-wide people search. Johnson CAD has owner, street, property ID, geographic ID, subdivision, neighborhood, property type, tax year, and other Advanced Search fields, but no visible ZIP field. Johnson County Tax Search likewise offers owner address and property location, not a postal-code filter. Use a street, subdivision, neighborhood, geographic ID, or property address to find parcels, then group the returned addresses by postal code where needed.
The Johnson County Tax Search makes an important distinction: Owner Address means mailing address, while Property Location means the physical address. The property-location search should be entered without a street type or direction under the office’s guidance. Its account-number example includes dashes. These fields are strong tools for checking one parcel but are not a ZIP code directory of everyone who receives mail in the area.
USPS is the source for deliverability and post-office information. Census ZCTA data is statistical, not a delivery lookup. City Address Inquiry can provide service, council, polling, and related information for a known address, but it does not offer a ZIP-wide occupant list.
Note: Cleburne officials did not publish a visible postal-code filter in either the CAD or tax search surfaces reviewed.
Finding Cleburne Residents by Postal Area
With no local public ZIP filter, a practical search starts from a specific address or name, then verifies the postal label separately. That sequence respects the limits of each source: the parcel roll follows a physical property, postal tools follow delivery, and voter tools are designed for an individual’s registration status rather than a geography-wide roster.
- Confirm the mailing label with USPS, especially when an older source uses 76031 and a later source uses 76033.
- Search a known street address in Johnson CAD and record the account or geographic ID, physical location, owner spelling, and legal description.
- Use City Address Inquiry or the interactive map to check municipal-service and district context for that address. Treat the map as approximate.
- Use the tax search to compare property location with the owner mailing address. Do not substitute one field for the other.
- For one voter whose identity is already known, use VoteTexas by VUID, Texas driver-license number if provided during registration, or first and last name plus county and date of birth.
VoteTexas does not provide an all-voters-in-a-ZIP screen. A Chapter 18 statewide voter-file request is available through statutory procedures and excludes protected addresses and Social Security numbers; it also requires an affidavit against advertising or promoting commercial products or services. Once an area narrows to a street, the Cleburne street directory offers the address-record sequence.
Cleburne Address Types by Postal Area
Four address terms recur in Cleburne records. A situs or property location is the physical parcel and is the key used by JCAD, the tax office, GIS, and permits. A mailing address is where the owner receives tax correspondence and can be outside Cleburne. A legal description is the lot, block, subdivision, abstract, survey, or metes-and-bounds language used by deeds and plats. A postal city and ZIP are delivery labels that can cross city limits and county lines.
- ZIP vs. ZIP+4
- A five-digit ZIP directs mail to a broad delivery area; ZIP+4 adds a more specific delivery segment.
- PO-box ZIP
- A postal code used for post-office-box delivery, which does not establish a physical parcel location.
- Unique ZIP
- A code assigned to a single institution or high-volume recipient; the research did not identify one for Cleburne.
- Carrier route
- A postal delivery route used for mail handling, not a municipal boundary or resident roster.
Preserve all identifiers when available. An account or geographic ID differs from a street number, and both differ from a deed’s volume/page or instrument number. A lot and block may remain stable when the mailing line, postal code, or street suffix changes.
Cleburne City Limits and ZIP Codes
Postal delivery geography and municipal jurisdiction do not align perfectly. City and county maps show city limits and extraterritorial-jurisdiction shading, while JCAD can show taxing-jurisdiction and parcel context. An address with Cleburne in the mailing line may sit in an unincorporated pocket where county records control. An edge address can also receive another post office’s code while municipal services and appraisal records remain connected to Cleburne and Johnson County.
Use the city map to check city-limit and overlay context, then compare the parcel’s legal description, map geometry, and taxing jurisdictions. For a newly assigned or disputed emergency address, contact Johnson County GIS at 817-202-4192 or GIS@jocotx.org. The map is not a substitute for a recorded plat or deed. This distinction keeps the ZIP code directory from turning a mail label into a claim about jurisdiction or residence.
Note: A Cleburne mailing line can describe a county parcel outside the city’s incorporated boundary and service jurisdiction.
Cleburne Postal Record Trail
When address evidence conflicts, record the exact postal code, source date, physical address, mailing address, legal description, account or geographic ID, and map layer used. Compare the date to the January 2002 realignment before treating a 76031-to-76033 change as meaningful. For older properties, a 1910 Sanborn map, plat, deed, neighboring lot and block descriptions, and local newspaper references can help bridge address continuity.
The Johnson County Clerk’s official index and public terminals supply the transfer and plat records that postal tools cannot. Cleburne’s map services supply geography, and USPS supplies delivery context. Kept together, those records support a careful ZIP code directory search without overstating what a delivery label proves about a person or a parcel.
