Travis County has 21 designated Qualified Opportunity Zones concentrated on Austin's east side, including neighborhoods such as East Cesar Chavez, the MLK corridor, Montopolis, and areas adjacent to Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. Austin's OZ footprint is compact relative to Texas's other major metros, reflecting the city's higher overall income levels, but the zones that do exist sit in some of the most rapidly appreciating urban real estate in the country.
Austin's OZ investment case is driven by the city's extraordinary technology economy growth, anchored by Apple, Tesla, Amazon, and a dense startup ecosystem, which has created intense spillover housing demand in OZ-eligible east side neighborhoods. Multifamily and mixed-use projects have been the dominant investment category. Airport-adjacent zones near Austin-Bergstrom offer logistics and commercial development opportunities driven by the airport's rapid passenger and cargo growth.
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 Travis County.
How do I invest in Travis 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.
