Because these property types share the same postal boundaries, pick the property type first. Confirm the address is inside city limits second, and use the zip code only as the last filter.
Key takeaway
Tamarac home addresses use two main zip codes, 33321 and 33319, while 33320 is reserved exclusively for PO boxes. Choose your search by property type rather than zip, because condo buyers have much more room to negotiate with 8.7 months of supply, while single-family homes sell faster and closer to asking. Before you make an offer on a listing, confirm the address is inside Tamarac city limits, because a Tamarac mailing address does not guarantee it.
Who this guide is for
You have a Tamarac address, listing, or search area in front of you and are deciding which zip code and which kind of home to focus on.
What are the zip codes in Tamarac, FL?
Tamarac’s residential street addresses fall into 33321 and 33319, while 33320 functions solely for PO boxes. Parts of neighboring zip codes also reach across the municipal borders. The United States Postal Service treats Fort Lauderdale as the default city name for all three primary Tamarac zip codes, though Tamarac is an acceptable alternate name.
A condo and a single-family home at their respective medians can sit right next to each other inside the same postal zones. The postal boundaries dictate where the mail carrier goes, not how the real estate market behaves.
Zip code 33321
This zip code covers a large portion of the city’s housing, mixing single-family subdivisions built around golf courses with large condo buildings and 55-and-older communities. Both price extremes share the same five digits, and a zip-wide median that averages entry-level condos with larger houses tells a buyer almost nothing useful.
Several communities here run their own age, rental, and pet rules. You can’t rely on the zip code to tell you what’s allowed, so ask the association whether it operates as 55-and-older housing and what its specific rental rules are before you make an offer.
Zip code 33319
This zip code covers eastern sections of the area and reaches across city lines. Census data confirms that the 33319 boundary includes parts of Tamarac while also crossing into neighboring municipalities. An envelope with a 33319 zip code and “Tamarac” written on it can easily belong to a house sitting in another town.
What you give up searching broadly by this zip code is certainty. Inside 33319, the city on the mailing address may not be the city that taxes the home, supplies its water, or enforces its code. Run the parcel check in the next section on every 33319 listing.
Zip code 33320
This is a PO box zip code with no street addresses attached to it. Readers often see it on city mail, official forms, and business correspondence and assume it represents a specific neighborhood. It doesn’t. You can’t search for homes by 33320. If it appears on a seller’s paperwork or a homeowner association mailing address, ask for the property’s physical street address and its 33319 or 33321 zip code instead.
Neighboring zip codes that reach into Tamarac
Parts of Tamarac use zip codes whose default postal city is another town. Census mapping confirms that zip code 33309, for instance, reaches into Tamarac city limits. The reverse is also true: communities marketed as being in Tamarac might sit just outside the official boundary.
A portal search filtered strictly by the city name “Tamarac” can miss homes inside the city and include homes outside it. Search by drawing on the map as well as by typing the city name.
How to check if an address is in Tamarac city limits
A zip code cannot settle which city governs a home, but the county parcel record can. Municipal boundaries determine your property tax rate, your utility provider, and your local services. A zip code also does not decide your school assignment. Check the Broward County Public Schools boundary locator to confirm your assigned school, and review our guide to schools in Tamarac.
Flood risk is another thing a zip code won’t tell you. Check the FEMA Flood Map Service Center address search to find out whether a property sits in a hazard zone. If you need help verifying an address before touring a home, we can look up the official parcel and zoning data for you.
Look up the parcel on the Broward County Property Appraiser site
Search for the address on the appraiser’s website and read the municipality and millage code on the record. The property appraiser’s millage code, not the zip code, decides which city’s tax rate lands on the bill. The official millage rate tables assign Tamarac the millage code 3112, which carries a combined final rate of 21.0965 for the 2025 tax year.
Read our guide to property taxes in Tamarac to understand how this affects your monthly payment. One thing to watch: the appraiser’s record reflects the current owner’s exemptions. Your tax bill after purchase can differ, so run the math based on the purchase price rather than the previous owner’s bill.
Confirm the water and sewer provider
Being inside city limits and being on City of Tamarac water are not automatically the same thing. Some homes within the city limits receive services from different utility providers or rely on private wells. Read our guide to water and sewer utilities in Tamarac for a breakdown of how the systems operate.
Service-area maps often lag behind reality. Ask the seller for a recent water and sewer bill to see who sends it.
Find the full 9-digit ZIP+4 code
You can look up an address’s ZIP+4 on the USPS website. The add-on code identifies a specific delivery segment rather than a broad area, and the last four digits can narrow a delivery down to a single building, a PO box, or one side of a city block.
Even a ZIP+4 is just a delivery route, not a legal boundary. It cannot replace the county parcel check.
Tamarac home prices by property type
The housing market here splits sharply depending on the kind of building you buy. Condos provide a lower entry price and more room to negotiate, while single-family homes cost more and sell closer to asking. Townhouses sit in the middle, though their sales volume is much lower.
Review our full Tamarac real estate market guide for deeper trends. The recent figures below show exactly how far apart the property types are.
Condos in Tamarac
The typical Tamarac condo sold for about 6% under its asking price recently. That sale-to-list ratio means a condo listed at $150,000 implies a closing price near $141,450. Buyers have real negotiating room here, and a 115-day median time on market means you have time to inspect, ask questions, and negotiate.
Check Kings Point condos to see current listings and typical layouts.
The upfront discount can disappear into association costs. Florida’s condo rules on milestone inspections and structural integrity reserve studies require associations to fund safety repairs, which can mean higher dues or special assessments. Ask the association for current dues, any pending assessments, and its reserve study status, and review our guide to HOA and condo fees in Tamarac. A slow market also means a slow resale if you need to sell quickly later.
Single-family homes in Tamarac
Houses sell much closer to asking, and some still draw competition. About 1 in 13 Tamarac houses sold for more than the asking price recently. Plan to write offers near list on well-priced homes, and expect far less negotiating room than condo buyers get.
Run your budget numbers using our guide to affordability in Tamarac. A lowball offer on a well-priced house can easily lose out to a buyer who offered closer to list.
Townhouses in Tamarac
Townhouses were the only Tamarac home type whose median price went up this year, rising 4%. That figure is based on only 33 townhouse sales, and none of those townhouses sold above the asking price.
Treat the trend as thin. Price your offer off recent sales in the specific community rather than the citywide change.

Which Tamarac zip code should you search?
Neither 33319 nor 33321 is the universally better zip code, because both hold a mix of entry-level condos and more expensive houses. Instead of filtering by a five-digit number, answer a few questions about what you need from the home.
- Does the home need to be inside the City of Tamarac, for example for the city’s tax rate or city water? If yes, run the address through the steps in the limits check section before anything else.
- Is your budget closer to a condo or a house? That choice moves the price far more than 33319 vs 33321 does.
- Do you want the most negotiating room now, or the quicker, closer-to-asking resale later? Condos at a $132 median per square foot versus $257 for single-family homes means roughly twice the floor area per dollar.
- Are you also weighing a neighboring city? Use the county section to jump to the side-by-side comparison pages.
If you want the lowest entry price and the most room to negotiate, start with condo listings in either zip, beginning with the Kings Point condo listings page. If you want a home that sold faster and closer to asking, which matters if you may resell within a few years, start with single-family listings in 33321 and 33319. If you want certainty that the home pays Tamarac’s city tax rate and is on city services, start with the parcel and millage check before shortlisting by zip.
