Florida’s New “Tax-Free July”

Florida Launches Year‑Round “Tax‑Free July” Savings

Florida has officially turned July into a tax-free shopping season, thanks to the state’s newly permanent “Freedom Month” sales tax exemption. Residents can now enjoy huge savings on outdoor gear, admissions, and hurricane supplies—every July, year after year.

This policy, signed into law by Governor Ron DeSantis, is aimed at easing the cost of summer fun and storm prep. Whether you’re new to Florida, buying a second home, or just outfitting your backyard, this change puts money back in your pocket.

That includes items like:

• Boating and Water Sports Gear – Kayaks, paddleboards, snorkeling gear

• Camping and Outdoor Equipment – Tents, grills, coolers, lanterns

• Event and Recreation Admissions – Concerts, museums, State Park passes

• Hurricane Supplies – Batteries, flashlights, tarps, portable generators

• Sun Safety Essentials – Sunscreen, sunglasses, life vests, helmets

What It Means for Homeowners & Movers

✅ Smart Savings on Hurricane Prep

Many hurricane essentials—generators, tarps, batteries, smoke detectors—are now permanently exempt from sales tax. This makes safeguarding your Florida home more affordable.

🏖️ Gear Up for Outdoor Living

Buy kayaks, snorkeling kits, or beach gear tax-free. It’s perfect timing for new homeowners in waterfront communities or those furnishing vacation homes.

🎟️ Affordable Local Lifestyle

No-tax admission to state parks, museums, concerts, and festivals enhances local living—especially for families and second-home buyers.

How It Works—All July, Every Year

• Applies from July 1–31, every year

• Covers outdoor gear, recreational items, and admissions

• No need to watch for special “holiday” dates—it’s automatic

Why This Matters to Real Estate

• Lower move-in costs: Relocating families save on essential purchases.

• Better lifestyle appeal: Listings now have more value when paired with community perks.

• Boosted outdoor markets: Boating and waterfront properties become more enticing mid-summer.
