What is an Opportunity Zone?
Special designated census tract where certain investments are eligible for preferential federal tax treatment.
How do I take advantage of the benefits of a Opportunity Zone?
When you have a sale of an asset or investment that triggers a capital gains tax you can reinvest that income in a Pasco Opportunity Zone. The new investment allows:
- Deferral of capital gains for up to ten years
- Partial abatement at years five, seven, and ten
- No accrual of tax on new investment if held for ten years or more
DEVELOPMENT AREAS IN THE PASCO OPPORTUNITY ZONE
- Osprey Pointe (Port of Pasco)
- Marine Terminal (Port of Pasco)
- Commercial Avenue
Property Lookup
We are working on a tool with City of Pasco that allows you to look up your property address and determine if it is in the opportunity zone. In the meantime you can go here for a map.
