Dallas County has 18 designated Qualified Opportunity Zones spread across Dallas and a number of smaller incorporated cities in the county. Dallas's zones cover South Dallas, West Dallas, Pleasant Grove, and Fair Park-adjacent neighborhoods, historically underinvested communities now experiencing increasing investor attention driven by the city's sustained population and employment growth.
Dallas's OZ investment activity has been driven by strong demand for workforce and market-rate multifamily housing, industrial and logistics facilities near I-20 and I-30 corridors, and mixed-use development in zones adjacent to DART light rail stations. The Fair Park area's proximity to downtown and ongoing redevelopment plans have attracted mixed-use and entertainment-adjacent investment interest. West Dallas zones along the Trinity River corridor offer some of the most transit-connected and view-advantaged OZ-eligible land in Texas.
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 Dallas County.
How do I invest in Dallas 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.
