Platform features
Everything you need to find Texas FTZ land.
All Texas FTZ Boundaries Mapped
SiteData overlays every U.S. Customs and Border Protection-designated Foreign Trade Zone boundary in Texas onto the statewide parcel database. FTZ status is pre-computed for all 14.3 million parcels — no manual cross-referencing with zone maps.
One-Toggle FTZ Filter
A single filter toggle limits your search to FTZ-qualified parcels only. Add acreage, county, land use, and infrastructure requirements on top to narrow from statewide inventory to your specific project's needs in seconds.
Infrastructure Score Every FTZ Site
FTZ benefits are most valuable when a site is also well-served by freight infrastructure. SiteData scores every FTZ parcel for proximity to Class I rail, interstates, ports, water service, and power — so you find sites where the incentive and the logistics both work.
FTZ + Opportunity Zone Stacking
Some Texas parcels qualify for both Foreign Trade Zone and Opportunity Zone benefits simultaneously. SiteData identifies these dual-incentive sites — potentially offering both import/export duty advantages and federal capital gains tax incentives on the same parcel.

FAQ
Common questions about Texas Foreign Trade Zones.
What is a Foreign Trade Zone in Texas?
A Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) is a secured area in the U.S. legally treated as outside of U.S. Customs territory for the purposes of duty payment. Businesses operating within FTZs can receive, store, handle, manufacture, or exhibit foreign merchandise without paying customs duties until goods enter the U.S. market. Texas has one of the largest concentrations of FTZs in the country, serving its major trade corridors.
How many Foreign Trade Zones are in Texas?
Texas has more than a dozen active FTZ general-purpose zones and hundreds of subzones, serving Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, San Antonio, Laredo, El Paso, Brownsville, McAllen, and other trade centers. SiteData maps all CBP-designated FTZ boundaries, including both general-purpose zones and approved subzones.
What are the business benefits of locating in an FTZ?
Companies in FTZs can defer, reduce, or eliminate U.S. customs duties on foreign merchandise; inverted tariff benefits may allow manufacturing in an FTZ to result in lower duty rates than importing the finished good; weekly entry procedures reduce administrative burden; and FTZs streamline CBP compliance for import-intensive operations. For Texas manufacturers and distributors that trade internationally, these savings can be substantial.
How does SiteData identify FTZ parcels?
SiteData uses the official FTZ boundary GIS layers published by U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the National Association of Foreign-Trade Zones (NAFTZ). These boundaries are overlaid on the TNRIS StratMap statewide parcel dataset, and each parcel is tagged at ingestion with its FTZ zone number and status.
Can I find industrial land inside a Texas FTZ?
Yes. SiteData lets you filter for FTZ parcels and then add land-use and acreage requirements. You can search specifically for large-acreage industrial or warehouse parcels inside FTZ boundaries and score them for infrastructure access — the combination most relevant to logistics and manufacturing site selection.
Does SiteData cover FTZ subzones as well as general-purpose zones?
SiteData maps the CBP-published FTZ boundaries including general-purpose zones. For specific subzone determinations, consult the FTZ Board directly, as subzones are approved at the facility level. The platform is most powerful for identifying land eligible for general-purpose zone designation and scoring it for industrial viability.
