Florida Expands Second Amendment Sales Tax Holiday Through December 31

  • Florida’s Second Amendment Sales Tax Holiday runs from September 1 through December 31, 2026, suspending sales tax on qualifying firearms, ammunition, and hunting/fishing/camping supplies.
  • Eligible tax-free items include ammunition; firearms; firearm accessories such as holsters, grips, sights, stocks and cleaning kits; bows/crossbows and accessories; fishing rods, reels, bait and tackle; and certain camping items like tents, sleeping bags, stoves and lanterns.
  • For 2026, Florida doubled the price caps for fishing bait and tackle to $10 per item and $20 for multiple items sold together.
  • Florida also broadened relief through a separate sales tax exemption for firearm accessories, including magazines, range bags, barrels, triggers, slings, bipods and suppressors.
  • The holiday is expected to deliver about $40 million in tax relief in 2026, bringing projected two-year savings to nearly $85 million.
