Palm Beach County has 26 designated Qualified Opportunity Zones located primarily in West Palm Beach, Belle Glade, Riviera Beach, and South Bay. The county's zones cover a range of urban and agricultural communities, from West Palm Beach's urban core and Northwood Village to the rural Glades communities of Belle Glade and South Bay along Lake Okeechobee.
West Palm Beach's OZs have attracted multifamily housing and mixed-use investment driven by the city's growing financial services sector and proximity to wealthy surrounding communities. The Glades area zones, among the most economically distressed in South Florida, present agricultural infrastructure and rural housing opportunities for mission-aligned capital. Riviera Beach's zones offer industrial and commercial redevelopment opportunities along the Intracoastal Waterway.
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 Palm Beach County.
How do I invest in Palm Beach 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.
