Is it still an Opportunity Zone in 2027?

Not yet known. 1 of the overlapping 2020 tracts is eligible for the 2027 round, but no official Puerto Rico nomination list naming it was published as of Oct 30, 2026.

What it means for property bought here

Under Notice 2026-40, property bought after December 31, 2026 for use in a 2018 zone generally cannot be Opportunity Zone business property unless the area is designated again or a transition exception applies: a working capital plan adopted by December 31, 2026 with at least 10% of the planned cash received and 5% spent, or ordinary-course replacement of existing property. Property acquired before the zone expires can keep counting as zone property through December 31, 2047. Because this is a rural zone, the substantial improvement test needs additions above 50% of the building's basis instead of 100% (effective July 4, 2025). See the transition rules.
