New York is an example of a state with a base, state-wide rate to which are added varying county rates and even some municipal rates.

Note also that neither municipal nor county boundaries align perfectly with zip code boundaries. My snail mail, for example, is directed to an adjacent town, which delivers on routes which span municipal boundaries.
