Waukee, Iowa uses one ZIP code: 50263. The area code is 515, and the town is in Dallas County on the western edge of the Des Moines metro, in the Central Time Zone.
For addresses inside the city, Waukee uses a single ZIP code: 50263. That's simpler than some fast-growing metro suburbs, which have split into two or more ZIP codes as they've grown. Because Waukee sits on the fast-building western edge of the Des Moines metro, an address near the outer limits can occasionally fall under a neighboring town's ZIP, so it's always worth checking the exact address. The one thing that trips up newcomers isn't the ZIP, it's the county: most Des Moines suburbs are in Polk County, but Waukee is in Dallas County. Your assessor, recorder, property taxes, and many county services run through Dallas County offices in Adel, not Polk County.
