Fresno County has 47 designated Qualified Opportunity Zones concentrated in the city of Fresno and outlying agricultural communities in the San Joaquin Valley. Fresno's urban zones cover significant portions of the city's west and southeast sides, lower-income neighborhoods that have historically experienced disinvestment despite Fresno's position as the economic capital of California's Central Valley.
Fresno's OZ investment case is anchored by the city's growing role as a logistics and agriculture processing hub, strong multifamily housing demand driven by in-migration from the Bay Area and Los Angeles, and the transformative High-Speed Rail station investment planned for downtown Fresno. Agricultural support facility and cold storage investments in the county's rural zones offer distinct opportunities tied to the Central Valley's $35 billion agricultural economy.
What is an Opportunity Zone census tract?
Each Opportunity Zone is defined at the census tract level by the U.S. Census Bureau. Investors must deploy eligible capital gains into a Qualified Opportunity Fund (QOF) that invests in property or businesses within these designated tract boundaries. The tract GEOID numbers listed above identify each designated zone in Fresno County.
How do I invest in Fresno County Opportunity Zones?
Investments must be made through a Qualified Opportunity Fund (QOF). Capital gains must be reinvested within 180 days of the gain recognition event. Consult a qualified tax advisor to determine your eligibility and structure your investment. You can also visit our Find OZ Help page to connect with an OZ specialist.
