A city can fall into multiple parishes. Shreveport is in Caddo and Bossier. Different taxing rates, city level, then parish, then state, for sales tax purposes.

It's just bad coding in a database somewhere. Like someone said zip codes starting with 701 is considered New Orleans but only in those databases. Not in real life or anything.

It does. What about Grand Isle? Jefferson has it when it should be in Lafourche Parish.

All about taxes, politics, school districts, etc. When have taxes ever made sense? And I am a tax accountant!

Grand Isle is definitely legally Jefferson Parish for some odd reason.

We see quirks like that in the Landmass too.
Hancock County has areas with Pass Christian, Picayune, and Perkinston addresses.

Makes perfect sense. You think the residents of grand isle wanted to be in Orleans Parish?

But are those portions completely separated by another entire Parish (county). There is nothing connecting Jefferson Parish to Grand Isle that I can think of at the moment.

Jefferson Parish isn't 8.5%. It's 8.75%.
Orleans is 9%.
Orleans is 9%.

West End Park used to have the parish line painted in the parking lot. There was one restaurant there (Bruning's maybe) that straddled that line and had separate cash registers for each side of it.

The grand isle in Jeff paeish really don't bother me. I get it. If you just draw a straight line down across the lakes and marshes it would put grand isle in jefferson.
But to have just a small zip code in the middle of a seperate parish (not connected in any way to the city or parish) but considered part of NO is just fricking crazy. Not like its a continuation or anything or just separated by water... That's what I'm getting from all this If the small area of elmwood is considered new olreans when every neighborhood completely encircling it isn't even in Orleans parish but it's still considered New Orleans.

Elmwood area has a NOLA zip code but it's Jefferson Parish taxes, not Orleans.

Harahan, River Ridge, Elmwood and parts of the corridor along Jefferson Highway are in New Orleans.
This is incorrect. Harahan is it's own city and has a mayor. River Ridge has nothing to do with NOLA except it's being a suburb.

I do not disagree. My Kmart receipt from the other day said New Orleans - the Kmart is in Harahan.
Kmart sucks

Not really, look at a map. It's the best part of JP.

Parts of elmwood are indeed part of new Orleans for sales tax and business purposes
