Florida Hurricane Preparedness Sales Tax Exemption
Florida law permanently exempts many Hurricane preparedness items from sales tax.
In addition to the items pictured above as of July 1, 2026, Florida homeowners may also qualify for a sales tax refund (up to $500) on eligible impact-resistant windows, exterior doors and garage doors installed on qualifying homestead property. Unlike the items above, sales tax is paid at the time of purchase, and homeowners apply to the Florida Department of Revenue for the refund after installation.
