Florida’s Four-Month Outdoor Gear Sales Tax Holiday Is Now Underway

Florida shoppers can now purchase many hunting, fishing and camping products without paying state sales tax. Eligible camping products include tents costing $200 or less, sleeping bags, camping stoves, portable hammocks and collapsible chairs costing $50 or less, and lanterns or flashlights costing $30 or less. Fishing rods and reels qualify at $75 or less each, or $150 for a matched set, while tackle boxes qualify up to $30. The exemption period lasts four full months, making it one of Florida’s longest sales-tax holidays of 2026. State estimates indicate the holiday will reduce state and local tax collections by about $40 million, effectively leaving those savings with consumers. For more information click here.
