Did you know?
Florida just launched its longest sales tax holiday ever — and hunting gear has no price limit at all.
Beginning today, Sept 1st through Dec 31st, 2026
FISHING
Matched sets double your limit
Buy a rod and reel together and the cap jumps to $150 — almost double the $75 limit for buying them apart.
• Rods & reels, as a set — $150 or less
• Rods & reels, individually — $75 or less
• Tackle boxes & bags — $30 or less
• Bait & tackle, bundled — $20 or less
• Bait & tackle, individually — $10 or less
CAMPING
One dollar over voids it all
These caps aren’t a discount on the first $200 — go a cent over and the entire item gets taxed.
• Tents — $200 or less
• Sleeping bags — $50 or less
• Portable hammocks — $50 or less
• Camping stoves — $50 or less
• Collapsible chairs — $50 or less
• Lanterns & flashlights — $30 or less
HUNTING
No price limit. At all.
Every item below is 100% tax-free this season — whether it rings up at $20 or $20,000.
• Fi****ms — Pistols, ri**es, sh****ns
• Am******on
• Bows & crossbows
• Bow & crossbow gear — Arrows, bolts, quivers, releases, sights, wristguards
• Fi***rm accessories — Holsters, cases, magazines, optics, slings, suppressors & more
FINE PRINT
One taxable item can void it all
Bundle a tax-free item with a taxable one, and the whole purchase gets taxed — not just the taxable piece.
• Rentals and repairs don’t qualify, even on eligible items
• Excluded at theme parks, entertainment complexes, hotels & airports
• Online orders placed during the holiday still qualify, even if delivered later
Save this post for your next trip to the sporting goods store.
