Opportunity zones are a new federal incentive designated in the 2017 tax reform bill

Four of our six counties have designated Opportunity Zones: Delta County (3), Montrose County (3), Gunnison County (1) and San Miguel County (1). They are an incentive for investors to support distressed communities through long-term, equity investments in businesses and real estate ventures. The incentive provides deferral, reduction and potential elimination of certain federal capital gains taxes.

Colorado Opportunity Zones

If properly executed, Opportunity Zones may help address a number of challenges in Colorado.
