Filed: 104 tracts nominated · Oct 2, 2026. Status as of October 20, 2026.

Pending Treasury certification. Mass.gov says the Healey-Driscoll Administration nominated 104 census tracts across 46 municipalities on October 2, 2026, and counts 414 eligible tracts with a cap of 104.

Eligible: 414 tracts, 59 rural (eligible), per Treasury's September 2026 eligibility data; nomination cap: 104 (25%, rounded up). The original IRS Rev. Proc. 2026-14 appendix listed 410 Massachusetts tracts (58 rural); Treasury later added 4. Every cap on this site uses Treasury's current count, so Massachusetts's cap is 104 (25%, rounded up, under Rev. Proc. 2026-14).

Nominated-tract list: 104 tracts, from the Mass.gov (EOED) searchable table of 2026 Opportunity Zone nominations (104 tracts, 46 municipalities), each GEOID checked against the IRS appendix. Check any tract with the tract lookup.

Selection process background

Massachusetts OZ 2.0 Selection Process

Massachusetts has filed. The Executive Office of Economic Development (EOED) ran the 2026 nomination process through a dedicated Opportunity Zone program page, an interactive MassGIS map of eligible census tracts, a downloadable 2026 eligible-tract list, and a Community Feedback Form for investors, developers, community organizations, and the public.

The Commonwealth has 138 Opportunity Zones across 79 municipalities in 2018. Under OBBBA's tightened low-income tests (median family income at or below 70% of the area median, or a poverty rate of at least 20% and median family income at or below 125%), 414 census tracts now qualify on Mass.gov's count and Treasury's September 2026 eligible list, and the governor could nominate up to 104 of them under the 25% federal cap. Contiguous-tract zones are no longer allowed. New zones take effect January 1, 2027 and last ten years.

What the state filed: The state's 2026 Opportunity Zone program page says EOED and the Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities (EOHLC) evaluated proposed tracts on project readiness, local support and alignment with Administration priorities such as housing production, transit-oriented development, downtown revitalization and job creation. On October 2, 2026, the Administration nominated 104 census tracts across 46 municipalities to Treasury, which the state expects to certify later this fall. Mass.gov now counts 414 eligible tracts and a cap of 104 under updated federal criteria; matching Treasury's September 2026 eligible list; the original Rev. Proc. 2026-14 appendix listed 410 (cap 103). Treasury certification will settle the final count. Certified zones take effect January 1, 2027 and run through December 31, 2036.

The nominated tracts: Mass.gov publishes the 104 tracts in a searchable table with a CSV download (GEOID, municipality, neighborhood). We loaded that table: all 104 GEOIDs are on Treasury's September 2026 eligible list, and they are marked nominated on the map, the tract pages, the tract lists and the likelihood checker.

What a reader can do now:

  • See the nominated tracts on the state's interactive map and searchable table on the program page, or in the list above.
  • Check tract eligibility on the MassGIS eligible-tracts map (2018 zones are a separate layer).
  • Nominated is not certified: wait for Treasury certification before underwriting a 2027 OZ 2.0 deal on a specific tract.

Massachusetts census tracts list: Opportunity Zones by county

Every Massachusetts census tract that is either on the OZ 2.0 eligibility list (414 tracts, Treasury's Sep 23, 2026 eligible-tract data) or inside a current (2018) Opportunity Zone, grouped by county. The CDFI Fund's 2018 list has 138 Massachusetts tracts (137 low-income, 1 contiguous), numbered by the 2010 census. GEOIDs here are 2020-census tracts, so we matched the 2018 zones to 2020 tracts with the Census relationship file: they cover 148 2020 tracts fully and 3 partly (151 in this table). "Partly" means only part of the 2020 tract was in a 2018 zone (how we match). The Nominated column uses the state's published OZ 2.0 list.

Eligible doesn't mean certified. The governor can nominate up to 104 of these tracts (the 25% cap). Mass.gov says the Commonwealth could nominate up to 104 of 414 eligible tracts, matching Treasury's September 2026 eligible list (414 tracts, cap 104). Treasury certification will settle the final count. The federal nomination window closed September 28, 2026, and certified OZ 2.0 zones take effect January 1, 2027. See which states have filed on the OZ 2.0 nomination tracker, check exact boundaries on the eligible-tract map, and read how to plan an OZ investment for January 2027.

Massachusetts Opportunity Zones 2.0: FAQ

How many Opportunity Zone 2.0 tracts has Massachusetts nominated?

Massachusetts nominated 104 census tracts, according to Mass.gov (EOED) (October 2, 2026). Mass.gov says the Commonwealth could nominate up to 104 of 414 eligible tracts, matching Treasury's September 2026 eligible list (414 tracts, cap 104). Treasury certification will settle the final count.

How many census tracts in Massachusetts are eligible for Opportunity Zone 2.0?

414 tracts, 59 rural (eligible), per Treasury's September 2026 eligibility data (the original IRS Rev. Proc. 2026-14 appendix listed 410). Eligibility is set by federal low-income criteria; only nominated and certified tracts become Opportunity Zones. We use Treasury's current count, so the cap is computed from 414.

How many tracts can Massachusetts nominate?

Up to 104. Under Rev. Proc. 2026-14 the cap is 25% of eligible tracts, rounded up (all tracts if fewer than 25).

Who chooses Massachusetts's Opportunity Zones?

The governor nominates tracts to the U.S. Treasury, which certifies them. In Massachusetts, the Executive Office of Economic Development (EOED) runs the state process.

Are Massachusetts's nominated tracts official Opportunity Zones yet?

Not yet. Treasury must certify them. Under Rev. Proc. 2026-14, its consideration period ends by November 27, 2026 at the latest (extendable to December 28, 2026 at the state's request), and zones take effect January 1, 2027.

When was Massachusetts's community nomination deadline?

Massachusetts's published community/local input deadline was Closed — governor nominated 104 tracts Oct 2, 2026. That is the state's internal window, separate from the federal deadline.

Do rural Opportunity Zones in Massachusetts get a bigger tax break?

Yes. Under OZ 2.0, gains invested in a qualified rural opportunity fund get a 30% basis step-up after five years instead of 10%, per IRS Notice 2026-55. Massachusetts has 59 rural eligible tracts, per Treasury's September 2026 eligibility data.

Where can I check Massachusetts's nominated tracts?

Look up any address or tract with the free tract lookup at https://opportunityzoneinvest.com/tools/tract-lookup/. Every nominated GEOID is checked against the IRS Rev. Proc. 2026-14 appendix.
