Colorado's OZ 2.0 map is final. 91 tracts are designated, effective January 1, 2027, replacing the 126 current zones, which remain in effect through December 31, 2028.
This map opens on the official 2027 designated Colorado Opportunity Zones (deep blue), effective January 1, 2027, from the list Treasury published November 5, 2026. Use the Layers panel to see the original 2018 zones (gold, in effect through December 31, 2028), both maps together, or the non-final eligible pool. On the 2027 view, the rural toggle shows only tracts marked Rural on the official list. See every designated Colorado tract on the 2027 list.
Colorado has 126 designated Qualified Opportunity Zones across 40 counties, with concentrations in the Denver metro, Colorado Springs, and Pueblo, as well as meaningful rural coverage in the San Luis Valley, Eastern Plains, and Western Slope. Colorado's OZ program has been one of the more active in the Mountain West, driven by the state's strong population growth, robust economy, and diverse investment landscape.
Denver-area OZs have attracted significant Qualified Opportunity Fund activity in multifamily housing, light industrial redevelopment, and mixed-use urban infill, particularly in neighborhoods along the commuter rail corridors and in the Globeville, Elyria-Swansea, and Sun Valley areas. Colorado Springs and Pueblo offer lower entry points with strong workforce housing fundamentals. Rural zones in the San Luis Valley and Eastern Plains present agricultural and rural development opportunities.
All OZ 1.0 designations remain in effect through December 31, 2028. Colorado's combination of economic vitality, outdoor amenity, and migration-driven housing demand makes it one of the more compelling OZ markets in the western United States.
