The boundaries of the ZIP Code can be changed, re-assigned, eliminated or overlapped with other ZIP Codes. So keep in mind that any given ZIP Code is only 'loosely' associated with a community (such as Lecanto). When looking for a ZIP Code, whether Lecanto or elsewhere, it's always best to check the website of the United States Postal Service (USPS). Our list of ZIP Codes for Lecanto includes: 34460 & 34461.

<6>	The area value has been supplied by the US Census Bureau and it can be different than the geographic boundaries of Lecanto. The value given by the Census Bureau reflects their statistical (or sampling) requirements. For example, if there is a cluster of people living just outside of the community's official boundary, the Census-defined area might be expanded to include that group.
