Florida Back to School Tax Free 2025: What’s Included

July 23, 2025 | Travis Talley

Florida's Back-to-School Tax Free Holiday 2025

                    Florida Back to School Tax Free 2025 is back, and this year it’s bigger than ever—running for a full month, from August 1 to August 31, 2025. That’s 31 whole days to stock up on school supplies, clothing, and even personal tech without paying sales tax. Whether you’re a parent preparing for back-to-school season, a college student shopping for dorm essentials, or a teacher getting ready for the classroom, this extended tax holiday is your chance to save on essentials you’d buy anyway. And yes—online purchases count, as long as they’re made and shipped during the tax-free period.

                    This year’s back-to-school tax holiday is especially exciting because it’s now a permanent annual event, written into Florida law to help families manage rising costs during the school season. With the price of tech and supplies climbing, these savings add up quickly—especially if you’re buying multiple items or upgrading laptops and accessories.

What’s Included?

Here’s what you can buy tax-free this August in Florida:

  • Clothing, footwear, and accessories – $100 or less per item
  • School supplies – $50 or less per item (includes notebooks, folders, calculators, etc.)
  • Learning aids and jigsaw puzzles – $30 or less per item

  • Personal computers and accessories – $1,500 or less per item, for non-commercial use

Make sure to check the price caps—if an item exceeds the limit, the entire purchase becomes taxable.

💡 Pro Tips to Maximize Savings

  • Shop early – Popular sizes and tech items sell out fast.

  • Stack store discounts – Many retailers run back-to-school promotions alongside the tax-free savings.

  • Keep receipts – Some stores offer price adjustments if an item drops in price during the holiday.

  • Order online – Purchases qualify if ordered and paid for within August 1–31, even if delivered later (CPA Practice Advisor).

Don’t Let Fear Haunt Your Home Buying or Selling Journey!

Travis Talley | October 07, 2024

home buying or selling do's and dont's

          It’s the spooky season, but the scariest thing for many people isn’t ghosts or goblins—it’s the thought of buying or selling a home. Overcoming common fears in real estate decisions is essential to avoid letting these worries stand in your way. Are you going to let fear haunt your home buying or selling journey? Let’s dive into some of the most frightening concerns homebuyers and sellers face and how to conquer them!

Fear of Financial Commitment

          Many first-time buyers feel anxious about the financial responsibility of a mortgage, thinking about the long-term costs and any potential unforeseen expenses. To mitigate this, it’s crucial to consult with a financial advisor who can help you assess your budget, explore various mortgage products, and identify a plan that fits your lifestyle. This can alleviate much of the fear, as you will have a structured payment plan with predictable costs. Furthermore, understanding the benefits of homeownership—such as equity building, tax deductions, and appreciation over time—helps put the financial commitment in a positive perspective.

Fear of Overpaying for a Home

          The fear of overpaying is especially prevalent in competitive housing markets. Buyers are often anxious that they might offer more than a home is worth, only to see prices drop afterward. However, this fear can be eased by doing thorough research on current market trends and home values. By working closely with a real estate agent, buyers can understand fair market value, recent sales in the area, and where they should be conservative or aggressive with offers. Market analysis tools like Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) reports are invaluable in ensuring buyers are paying a fair price.

Fear of the Unknown in Selling

          Selling a home brings a lot of uncertainty: Will the home sell quickly? Will you get the price you’re hoping for? These fears stem from the unpredictable nature of the market. To manage this, sellers should focus on timing, staging, and pricing the property right from the start. By ensuring the home is competitively priced and marketed to the right audience, sellers can speed up the process and receive offers that meet or exceed expectations. Partnering with an experienced real estate agent who knows the local market can also help in creating a strategy to attract qualified buyers.

Fear of Hidden Property Defects

          Buyers often fear that their dream home may come with hidden issues like plumbing problems, foundational cracks, or mold infestations. This fear is valid but can be mitigated by hiring a professional home inspector. A thorough inspection will reveal any significant problems, giving buyers the leverage to negotiate repairs or ask for credits toward the final sale price. This process ensures that buyers are fully informed about the property’s condition, helping them make confident, informed decisions.

Fear of Getting Outbid

          Competitive real estate markets often leave buyers feeling defeated, especially after losing out on several homes to higher offers. This fear is exacerbated when buyers feel they can’t compete with cash buyers or those offering above asking price. To overcome this fear, buyers should get pre-approved for a loan, so they can move quickly when they find the right property. Also, having a clear offer strategy and flexibility can help you stand out, such as being flexible on closing dates or waiving minor contingencies. Additionally, building a strong rapport with the seller through your agent can improve your chances of securing a home.

          Buying or selling a home doesn’t have to be a scary experience. By addressing these common fears head-on and working with professionals who guide you through the process, you can take control and make confident decisions.

FAQs

Work with a real estate agent who can conduct a thorough market analysis to ensure you’re getting a fair price. Expert realtors can advise on how to structure competitive yet fair offers, especially in hot markets.

In competitive markets, being prepared is crucial. Getting pre-approved for a loan and working with an experienced agent to strategize your offer are key. An experienced agent can help you develop an offer strategy, which might include submitting offers quickly, being flexible on terms like closing dates, or even offering to waive certain contingencies (e.g., inspection or appraisal).

If issues arise during a home inspection, don’t panic. You can negotiate repairs or even walk away from the deal if major problems arise. Real estate contracts often include inspection contingencies, which give buyers the legal right to back out or renegotiate if significant defects are discovered.

Managing the financial commitment of a mortgage starts with proper planning. Set a budget, consult with a mortgage advisor, and choose a loan option that fits your long-term financial plans. Additionally, make sure your mortgage payments don’t exceed a comfortable percentage of your monthly income to avoid strain.

Timing your home sale is essential for maximizing profits. An experienced agent can help you assess market conditions to ensure you list your home at the most advantageous time. Your agent can also advise on national and local economic factors, like interest rates and employment trends, that influence the best time to sell.
