Pinellas County has 16 designated Qualified Opportunity Zones spanning neighborhoods in St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Largo, and Tarpon Springs. St. Petersburg's zones cover significant portions of the city's south side and midtown areas, where robust urban revitalization has been underway for more than a decade, making Pinellas one of the more active secondary OZ markets in the Tampa Bay region.
St. Petersburg's OZ investment landscape has been shaped by the city's remarkable turnaround, from post-industrial urban decay to a nationally recognized arts, culture, and technology hub. Multifamily housing, arts district mixed-use, and light industrial redevelopment have attracted Qualified Opportunity Fund capital. Clearwater and Largo zones offer lower-cost workforce housing and commercial investment opportunities in the county's northern communities.
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 Pinellas County.
How do I invest in Pinellas 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.
