Why Federal Government Maps Are No Longer Reliable

As of April 2025, the mapping tool on the Treasury Department’s CDFI website has been broken for several years. The official OZ map on the HUD website has also been broken for several years.

Initially, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s CDFI Fund and the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) provided official OZ mapping tools. But as of 2025, both of these resources have been non-functional for several years. Investors and developers have since relied on third-party tools, with OpportunityZones.com being among the most trusted and accurate.

Verifying Your Property’s Status

Once you identify that your property is located in a Qualified Opportunity Zone using the OpportunityZones.com map, it’s still a good idea to keep thorough records. These records may include screenshots, reference data, and census tract ID numbers. This is especially important if you plan to use this information for tax or investment purposes. While the map is highly accurate, you should consult with a tax professional to confirm your property’s eligibility. And finally, understand the implications of being located in an Opportunity Zone.
