@floricuas Are you ready for hurricane season? If not, now is the time to prepare and save money. A 14-day sales tax holiday on storm-related items starts June 1, the first day of hurricane season, and runs through June 14. A second tax holiday for the same items will be held for 14 days starting Aug. 24, ahead of the mid-September peak of the season. Forecasters have predicted a very busy hurricane season, using qualifiers such as “explosive” and “turbulent.” Accuweather has predicted 20 to 25 named storms for this season. Read more about the items that will be exempt from sales tax at the link in our bio.
