House Bill 7073 was signed into law by Gov. Ron DeSantis on May 7. This tax relief package included the 2024 Disaster Preparedness Sales Tax Holiday, which provides residents with the opportunity to purchase qualifying disaster preparedness supplies tax-free during two 14-day sales tax holidays. During these two 14-day sales tax holidays, Floridians are projected to save millions on critical disaster preparedness supplies.nbsp
Each year, the Florida Division of Emergency Management encourages residents to take advantage of this tax holiday to prepare for hurricane season.
