Florida's back-to-school tax-free holiday provides a much-needed financial break for families preparing for the new school year. By eliminating sales tax on essential items like clothing, school supplies and electronics, parents can stretch their budgets further, ensuring their children have everything they need to start the year off right.

What Items Qualify?

  • Clothing, footwear, and accessories with a sales price $100 or less per item

  • Learning aids (like flashcards, matching games, toys that teach, etc.) and jigsaw puzzles with a sales price of $30 or less
  • Personal computers and related accessories with a sales price of $1,500 or less (when purchased for noncommercial home or personal use)
