Was it a 2018 zone?

About 100% of this tract's land lay in a 2018 Opportunity Zone: 72133953300 (98%), 72133953500 (2%). That designation ends December 31, 2027 for Puerto Rico's automatic zones. For 2027 and 2028 the two maps run side by side, and which one matters depends on when the investment is made.

What applies here

A gain invested in a Qualified Opportunity Fund after December 31, 2026 is deferred for up to five years. Held five years, basis rises by 30% if the investment is in a qualified rural opportunity fund, otherwise 10%. Held at least ten years, the investor can elect to exclude appreciation, measured no later than year 30. Because this is a rural zone, an existing building can meet the substantial improvement test with additions above 50% of its basis instead of 100%. See the OZ 2.0 rules and rural zones.
