Which counties in the San Antonio area have the most Opportunity Zones?

Bexar County has the most with 34, followed by Atascosa County (2) and Guadalupe County (2). The new zones are spread across 4 counties in the metro area.

Is all of San Antonio an Opportunity Zone?

No. Opportunity Zones are specific census tracts, each a few blocks to a few miles across. In the San Antonio metro area, 39 tracts were designated for 2027. A property is in a zone only if its own tract is on the list, so check the exact address.

How do I check if an address in San Antonio is in an Opportunity Zone?

Type the address, ZIP code or 11-digit census tract ID into the map on this page. The result shows whether the property is in an Opportunity Zone today and whether Treasury designated it as a new zone for 2027.

When do the new San Antonio Opportunity Zones take effect?

January 1, 2027. Treasury designated them on November 5, 2026, and they run through December 31, 2036.

Can I invest in an Opportunity Zone in San Antonio if I live somewhere else?

Generally, yes. The federal rules do not depend on where you live. An eligible gain has to go into a Qualified Opportunity Fund within 180 days, and the fund has to invest in zone property. State income tax treatment varies, so confirm with your CPA how your own state treats a deferred gain.

Sources and method

The 2027 zones come from the final list Treasury and the CDFI Fund published on November 5, 2026, checked tract by tract against Treasury's designations file. The metro area is San Antonio-New Braunfels, the Census Bureau area Treasury assigns each tract to, so it covers more than the city limits. County names, rural status and poverty rates come from the same Treasury files.
