Eligible tract data released
Census Bureau releases updated eligible tract data.
New Opportunity Zones take effect January 1, 2027. States are nominating tracts right now. Here’s what’s happening, updated every week.
OZ 2.0, made permanent under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, doesn’t just extend the Opportunity Zones program. It resets it. The 2026 designation cycle is the first opportunity in nearly a decade to nominate new census tracts. States have 90 days from July 1 to submit nominations to Treasury. New zones take effect January 1, 2027.
This page tracks where every state stands: which ones have published their process, which are still silent, and where the windows are closing. If you operate in an active state, the time to act is now.

Tracker is updated weekly. Data sourced from state agency portals, Rev. Proc. 2026-14, EIG, Novogradac, and direct practitioner outreach.
State-level community input deadlines are running now. Most states collect nominations from developers, investors, and community organizations before the Treasury window even opens.
If your state is accepting input, your local window may close well before July 1. The federal deadline is not the only date that matters.
Your next move depends on whether your state is active, silent, or whether you’re evaluating an OZ investment.
