Selection process background

We have not found a published Maryland OZ 2.0 selection process, community nomination window, or nominated-tract list from the state's lead agency. The federal nomination window closed September 28, 2026; states that have not filed may use a single 30-day extension through October 28, 2026 (IRS Rev. Proc. 2026-14).

Maryland census tracts list: Opportunity Zones by county

Every Maryland census tract that is either on the OZ 2.0 eligibility list (451 tracts, IRS Rev. Proc. 2026-14 appendix) or inside a current (2018) Opportunity Zone, grouped by county. The CDFI Fund's designated list has 149 Maryland tracts (145 low-income, 4 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 152 2020 tracts fully and 5 partly (157 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 113 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.

Maryland Opportunity Zones 2.0: FAQ

How many Opportunity Zone 2.0 tracts has Maryland nominated?

No official count yet. As of October 12, 2026, we have not found a Maryland or Treasury source confirming a submitted OZ 2.0 nomination slate.

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

451 tracts, of which 77 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.

How many tracts can Maryland nominate?

Up to 113. Under Rev. Proc. 2026-14 the cap is 25% of eligible tracts, rounded up (all tracts if fewer than 25).

Who chooses Maryland's Opportunity Zones?

The governor nominates tracts to the U.S. Treasury, which certifies them. In Maryland, the Maryland Dept. of Housing & Community Development (DHCD) runs the state process.

What is the deadline for Maryland to submit nominations?

The 90-day federal nomination window closed September 28, 2026. A state may request a single 30-day extension, which ends October 28, 2026 at the latest (Rev. Proc. 2026-14).

When was Maryland's community nomination deadline?

Maryland's published community/local input deadline was August 7, 2026 (counties). That is the state's internal window, separate from the federal deadline.

Do rural Opportunity Zones in Maryland 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. Maryland has 77 rural eligible tracts in the IRS appendix.
