Here are a bunch of reasons to head to Florida!!! I might cry tears of happiness.

Governor Ron DeSantis signed HB 7071 into law this morning, what does that mean for you?

HB 7071 includes property tax, sales tax and other tax reductions and modifications, including property tax relief relating to the Surfside condominium collapse.

Among other provisions, HB 7071 includes the following:

1. Increased property tax exemptions for widows, widowers, blind, disabled

HB 7071 increases property tax exemptions for residents who are widows, widowers, blind, or totally and permanently disabled from $500 to $5,000. This bill raises the value of this exemption for the first time since 1968.”

2. One-year sales tax exemption on children’s diapers

HB 7071 creates a one-year sales tax exemption from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023 on the retail sale of children’s diapers, including single-use diapers, reusable diapers, and reusable diaper inserts.

3. Property tax relief, residential property rendered uninhabitable due to a hurricane or other catastrophic event

HB 7071 provides for the prorated refund of property taxes on residential properties rendered uninhabitable by a hurricane or other catastrophic event, defined as a calamity or misfortune not caused by the property owner. If a residential property is rendered uninhabitable for 30 days or more, the owner may be refunded a portion of their property taxes for the time the property was uninhabitable. This provision first applies to the 2023 property tax roll.

4. Gas tax holiday, month of October

HB 7071 creates a one-month gas tax holiday for the month of October 2022. The holiday will reduce the tax on motor fuel by $0.25 per gallon. $200 million was included in the state budget from general revenue funds so that the fuel tax holiday does not adversely affect the FDOT work program. Walton County businesses and workers will benefit from this needed tax break.

5. Sales tax holidays

HB 7071 creates the following sales tax holidays:
• A 14-day back-to-school sales tax holiday from July 25 to August 7, 2022, for clothing, footwear, and backpacks costing $100 or less, school supplies and learning aids costing $50 or less, and personal computers or computer-related accessories, including non-recreational software costing $1,500 or less.
• A 14-day disaster preparedness/pet evacuation sales tax holiday from May 28 to June 10, 2022, for disaster preparedness supplies. Some examples of tax-free items include flashlights and lanterns costing $40 or less; radios costing $50 or less; tarps costing $100 or less; coolers costing $60 or less; batteries costing $50 or less; smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, and carbon monoxide detectors costing $70 or less; and generators costing $1,000 or less. The holiday also includes several items related to the safe evacuation of household pets, such as portable kennels or pet carriers selling for $100 or less per item, bags of dry pet food weighing 15 or fewer pounds and selling for $30 or less per item, and cans or pouches of wet pet food selling for $2 or less per can or pouch or the equivalent if sold in a box or case.
• A freedom week sales tax holiday during the week of July 1 to 7, 2022, on purchases of admissions to music, sports, and cultural events; tickets to movies and museums; single admission or season tickets to theatre and dance performances; state park admissions and annual passes; and use of fitness facilities will be tax free. Tickets, memberships and passes, purchased during the Freedom Week Sales Tax Holiday for use from July 1 to December 31, 2022, are tax free. The Freedom Week Sales Tax Holiday also applies to sales of boating and water activity supplies, camping supplies, fishing supplies, general outdoor supplies, and sports equipment.
• A skilled worker tools sales tax holiday from September 3 to 9, 2022, for certain tools used by skilled trade workers. Tax-free items include certain hand and power tools, work boots, safety equipment, shop lights, toolboxes, and belts, plumbing and electrical equipment, and industry textbooks and codebooks.

6. Longer-term sales tax relief

HB 7071 provides the following longer-term sales tax relief:
• A two-year sales tax exemption from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2024 on the retail sales of hurricane impact-resistant windows, doors, and garage doors.
• A one-year sales tax exemption from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023, on the retail sale of baby and toddler clothing and shoes primarily intended for children age five or younger.
• A three-month sales tax exemption from May 14 to August 14, 2022 on the retail sale of all children’s books.
• A one-year sales tax exemption from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023 on the retail sale of certain ENERGY STAR appliances including refrigerator/freezer units selling for $3,000 or less, and water heaters, washers or dryers selling for $1,500 or less.
• A permanent sales tax exemption relating to production and use of green hydrogen, defined to mean hydrogen created using an electrolytic process powered from renewable energy sources, including solar energy, wind energy, and geothermal energy. The term also includes hydrogen created using the pyrolytic decomposition of methane gas.

• A permanent sales tax exemption for fencing materials used to replace, repair or build farm fences on agricultural land and trailers used for agricultural and farm work.

• A permanent reduction in the sales tax to three percent on the sale of new mobile homes. Currently, mobile homes are subject to a six percent sales tax and classified as tangible personal property prior to being permanently affixed to land.

HB 7071 has an effective date of July 1, 2022.
