Redesignated areas ended July 1, 2026

Tracts and counties that lost HUBZone status in SBA's 2023 map update stayed HUBZones for three years as redesignated areas. Those expired on July 1, 2026, and SBA's data no longer lists any in Ohio. If your office or employees relied on one, check each address again.

Frequently asked questions

Where are the HUBZones in Ohio?

SBA's map data lists 723 qualified census tracts in 57 counties of Ohio, most in Cuyahoga County, Franklin County and Hamilton County. 11 rural counties qualify as a whole. Check a specific address with the free HUBZone map checker or on SBA's map.

How do I qualify for HUBZone in Ohio?

Your principal office, where most of your employees work, must be in a HUBZone, and at least 35% of your employees must live in one (any HUBZone, in any state). You also must be small and at least 51% owned and controlled by U.S. citizens, and apply to SBA for free at certifications.sba.gov.

Are there HUBZone set-aside contracts in Ohio?

None list Ohio as the place of performance right now, out of 27 open nationwide. Many HUBZone set-asides are for supplies, which can be delivered from anywhere, so look beyond your state.
