For Florida residents, the threat of Category 5 hurricanes rolls around each summer and lasts through the middle of fall. But hurricanes are not the only threat. Several additional natural disasters can lead up to or result from hurricanes, such as tornadoes, storm surges, and severe flooding.
The damages can be endless which is why it is important to be prepared for a natural disaster that may wreak havoc multiple times throughout the season.
Preparing for a natural disaster can quickly become overwhelming and quasi-costly. To best help Florida residents prepare for upcoming hurricane seasons, the state’s governor, Ron DeSantis, signed a sales tax holiday into law. This holiday allows individuals to buy eligible disaster preparedness supplies tax-free.
The disaster preparedness sales tax holiday includes an array of qualified goods for your home, family, and pets. Below is a sampling of qualified items from FloridaRevenue.com.
