Opportunity Zone Incentives Made Permanent
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (signed July 4, 2025) made the Qualified Opportunity Zone (QOZ) tax incentives permanent. Taxpayers who invest eligible capital gains into Qualified Opportunity Funds (QOFs) that invest in designated low-income census tracts can receive certain tax benefits under this permanent program.
Reinstated OZ Nomination Tool and Timeline
The CDFI Fund will reinstate the online Opportunity Zone (OZ) Nomination Tool in its Awards Management Information System to assist the Secretary in certification and designation of QOZs. The notice requests public comments by May 5, 2026; estimates 56 respondents with 1 hour each; and notes State CEOs must nominate eligible census tracts during a 90-day period beginning July 1, 2026 (with one 30-day extension), with new designations effective January 1, 2027 and recurring every ten years.
