Nomination Process

OZ 2.0 State Tracker

UpdatedAugust 31, 2026

Where all 56 U.S. jurisdictions stand as they nominate census tracts to become 2027 Qualified Opportunity Zones under OZ 2.0 — tracking each one's status, deadline, and responsible agency through the nomination window (July 1–December 27, 2026). The new designations take effect for 10 years starting January 1, 2027.

How the Nomination Process Works

Every state, D.C., and the five territories nominate their own OZ 2.0 tracts. A governor opens a submission window and gathers community input, then sends a final list of census tracts to the U.S. Treasury, which certifies them as Opportunity Zones.

  1. Window Open

    The state's submission window is open, with or without a set deadline.

    Spring/Summer 2026
  2. Window Closed

    The window has closed; the state is choosing which tracts to nominate.

    Spring/Summer 2026
  3. Nominations Submitted

    The state's final nominations are in with the U.S. Treasury.

    Due Sep 28, 2026
  4. Zones Designated

    Treasury certifies the nominations and designates the tracts as Opportunity Zones.

    Late 2026
9 jurisdictions have not issued any public guidance or announcement related to OZ 2.0.
