Hillsborough County has 32 designated Qualified Opportunity Zones concentrated in Tampa, including neighborhoods such as Ybor City, East Tampa, West Tampa, and areas adjacent to the University of South Florida campus in north Tampa. The county's zones span a diverse range of investment opportunities, from urban infill housing and mixed-use redevelopment in Tampa's historic neighborhoods to light industrial and logistics sites near Port Tampa Bay.
Tampa's OZ investment environment has strengthened significantly as the city has emerged as one of the fastest-growing large metros in the Southeast. Demand for workforce housing and market-rate multifamily is particularly strong across Hillsborough's urban zones. Ybor City's National Historic Landmark District, which overlaps with OZ-eligible areas, has attracted adaptive reuse and hospitality investment. Port Tampa Bay's adjacent industrial zones offer logistics and distribution opportunities driven by the port's continued expansion.
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 Hillsborough County.
How do I invest in Hillsborough 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.
