The opportunity zones (OZ) program offers federal tax benefits for investors in low-income communities. To establish the qualifying zones, states, U.S. possessions and Washington D.C. nominated various low-income communities. The governor of each state was permitted to select 25% of the state’s qualifying areas for the program. The qualifying areas were designated by census tract data and had to meet the definition of low-income as defined under the New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) program. The states could designate up to 5% of their qualifying opportunity zones (QOZ) in areas that were not classified as low-income but were contiguous to qualifying areas. They were also required to consider the following when identifying their zones:
Now certified by the U.S. Department of Treasury, the OZs will remain fixed from the date of designation through the close of the tenth calendar year.
