This 2.5AC parcel of flat/level open space land is located in an Opportunity Zone area, which offers significant tax benefits for investors who reinvest their capital gains in qualified projects. According to the IRS, Opportunity Zones provide three main tax benefits:
- Temporary deferral of taxes on previously earned capital gains until December 31, 2026 or until the investment is sold or exchanged, whichever is earlier.
- Step-up in basis for previously earned capital gains invested, which reduces the amount of taxable gain by 10% if held for at least 5 years and by 15% if held for at least 7 years.
- Permanent exclusion of taxable income on new gains from the sale or exchange of the investment if held for at least 10 years.
