Current status

Filed: 91 tracts · Sep 28, 2026. Status as of October 12, 2026.

Pending Treasury certification. A spokesperson for Gov. Polis's office told The Colorado Sun on October 3 that the state anticipates Treasury action by the end of November. OEDIT says Treasury identified 362 eligible Colorado tracts.

Eligible: 362 tracts (101 rural in the Rev. Proc. 2026-14 appendix); nomination cap: 91 (25%, rounded up). The original IRS appendix lists 360 Colorado tracts (cap 90); the state cites the higher Treasury figure.

Selection process background

Colorado OZ 2.0 Selection Process

The Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade (OEDIT) leads Colorado's OZ 2.0 selection process. Treasury identified 362 eligible Colorado tracts and invited the state to submit up to 25%, or 91 tracts. On September 28, 2026, Governor Jared Polis announced Colorado submitted the maximum 91 (28 rural), pending Treasury certification. (The IRS Rev. Proc. 2026-14 appendix lists 360 Colorado tracts; OEDIT cites Treasury's figure of 362, which is the denominator we use.)

Process:

Early 2026: OEDIT engaged local governments, economic development organizations, and community leaders to inform the selection criteria.
Spring 2026: OEDIT announced plans for a public GIS tool to let residents, developers, and communities explore eligible tracts.
Late Spring 2026: Community feedback window closes. Specific deadline to be announced.
Summer 2026: OEDIT reviews submissions and recommends tracts to Governor Jared Polis.
September 28, 2026: Governor Polis announced Colorado submitted 91 census tracts for federal designation (pending Treasury certification; designations effective January 1, 2027).

Colorado census tracts list: Opportunity Zones by county

Every Colorado census tract that is either on the OZ 2.0 eligibility list (360 tracts, IRS Rev. Proc. 2026-14 appendix) or inside a current (2018) Opportunity Zone, grouped by county. The CDFI Fund's designated list has 126 Colorado tracts (119 low-income, 7 contiguous), numbered by the 2010 census. GEOIDs here are 2020-census tracts, so we matched the 2018 zones to 2020 tracts with the Census relationship file: they cover 143 2020 tracts fully and 3 partly (146 in this table). "Partly" means only part of the 2020 tract was in a 2018 zone (how we match).

Eligible is not designated. The governor can nominate up to 91 of these tracts (the 25% cap). The federal nomination window closed September 28, 2026 (New Jersey is using the extension to October 28), and certified OZ 2.0 designations take effect January 1, 2027. See which states have filed on the OZ 2.0 nomination tracker, check exact boundaries on the eligible-tract map, and read how to plan an OZ investment for January 2027.

Colorado Opportunity Zones 2.0: FAQ

How many Opportunity Zone 2.0 tracts has Colorado nominated?

Colorado nominated 91 census tracts, according to OEDIT (September 28, 2026).

How many census tracts in Colorado are eligible for Opportunity Zone 2.0?

362 tracts, of which 101 are rural in the IRS Rev. Proc. 2026-14 appendix. Eligibility is set by federal low-income criteria; only nominated and certified tracts become Opportunity Zones. The IRS appendix lists 360; Colorado cites the higher Treasury figure.

How many tracts can Colorado nominate?

Up to 91. Under Rev. Proc. 2026-14 the cap is 25% of eligible tracts, rounded up (all tracts if fewer than 25).

Who chooses Colorado's Opportunity Zones?

The governor nominates tracts to the U.S. Treasury, which certifies them. In Colorado, the OEDIT (Office of Economic Development and International Trade) runs the state process.

Are Colorado's nominated tracts official Opportunity Zones yet?

Not yet. Treasury must certify them. Under Rev. Proc. 2026-14, its consideration period ends by November 27, 2026 at the latest (extendable to December 28, 2026 at the state's request), and designations take effect January 1, 2027.

When was Colorado's community nomination deadline?

Colorado's published community/local input deadline was Late Spring 2026. That is the state's internal window, separate from the federal deadline.

Do rural Opportunity Zones in Colorado get a bigger tax break?

Yes. Under OZ 2.0, gains invested in a qualified rural opportunity fund get a 30% basis step-up after five years instead of 10%, per IRS Notice 2026-55. Colorado has 101 rural eligible tracts in the IRS appendix.
