City = USPS Or Whatever The County Idiot Inputs?

Does HAL start smoking when the Post Offices consolodate and remove post offices, changing zip codes?

Just curious.
 
I always put in the legal address , then the postal address ie 123 Anny Street, Winslow Twp (Sicklerville P.O.) N.J. plus zip code
 
Allentown has legal addresses in their deeds. Here, the legal address is metes and bounds or plat.
 
Download fannies uad and just do what they tell you. Like an instruction manual.
 
You put the actually physical address, not the USPS address. The city/town that the house is actually standing in.

You must make sure that the address is formatted to USPS standards, meaning the address is arranged and abbreviated correctly. for example: Street is "St"
 
I was removed from W.F. list for using the physical address. Welcome to america.

We don't have any cities.
We are not even part of an MSA.

We have post offices that, where most, are named after an unicorporated village, but they are not cities, nor are they stand alone municipalities.

So you can't write:

123 Main Street, Tunkhannock Township, PA
or
123 Main Street, Tunkhannock Boro, PA

Because that aint USPS standard.

And to recap that,

Tunkhannock Boro is in Wyoming County PA, while,
Tunkhannock Township is in Monroe County PA, several couties distant from Tunkhannock Boro.

You could wirte,
123 Main Street, Albrightsville, PA,
But Albrightsville is neiher a city, nor a village. It is just the USPS address, yet, it is one of the postal addresses in Tunkhannock Township.
But,
even though the Albrightsville Post Office is located in Carbon County, it still services properties in Monroe County, so,

You still have accomplished nothing with the UAD request to make physical locations standardized to USPS standards, because in rural areas without cities, the "cities" of a postal code do not always exist. The postal code standard does not allow for exact delineation of the address between places with the same name, yet different governing municipalities.

So while this silliness might work in other places like New York City, were you could write;
123 Main Street, Manhattan NY.

It certainly does not work in the back woods.
