<p>This is all I have at this time for tax free weekends. I don’t know about any other states</p>
<p>Does this happen in the north?</p>
<p>TX - Aug. 15-17</p>
<p>Missouri has it maybe this next weekend. I’m not sure…</p>
<p>My state doesn’t have a Sales Tax :)</p>
<p>This doesn’t make me feel good! We just our next year’s property tax bill today. </p>
<p>$11,000. Nice house, average really, nothing special. 50% was for schools. ($12K per kid, average across all grades)</p>

<p>my state is missing from that list. and in Philly we pay an extra 1% on top of the 6% sales tax.</p>
<p>toblin, those NJ taxes are unreal. And I know that bills like yours aren’t on the houses selling for big $$$. I bet there are people whose taxes are a more than their mortgage payment, ouch. And then there’s the car insurance… I won’t digress!</p>
<p>we have 9% sales tax- no tax holiday this year 
But at least the % prop tax isn’t as high as Jersey

<p>I think that MA is working on one for this year.</p>
<p>In NH, every day is a sales tax holiday.</p>
<p>It’s only for purchases under $100 in NC? That totally kills my brilliant plan to buy a new laptop during tax free weekend. =[</p>
<p>veghead, you might still be able to get a computer sans sales tax. TN will let you purchase a computer valued up to either $1000 or $1500 and not pay sales tax. I don’t know if sales tax on accessories are exempt, though. Just call your local Best Buy or Circuit City to find out if computers are tax free in your state.
If not, you could sneak across the border into TN and buy one here!</p>

<p>North Carolina </p>

sports equip - $50</p>
<p>Okay, I’ll try calling during business hours tomorrow. If you see someone dressed in all black doing an awesome secret agent move over the NC/TN border on August 1, assume they said I have to pay tax. :P</p>
<p><em>EDIT</em> Nevermind, I just saw what suieinphilly posted. Thanks!</p>
<p>Sales tax holiday in New York State? HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA. </p>
<p>Maybe a free barrel to jump over Niagara Falls.</p>
<p>Here’s a link with a pretty comprehensive list.

<p>We live in NH and as mentioned before, everyday is a tax free holiday! :)</p>
<p>In MA, the House has approved the measure for August 16-17. The Senate and Governor have to approve it but they are expected to do so. That may be helpful for those in-state going to college in MA or those from OOS that will be here early enough to take advantage of the tax holiday.</p>

<p>aren’t Montana, Oregon, and NH the only three left without a sales tax?</p>
<p>I won’t complain about taxes. I have a $200,000 house, 5 bedrooms (3 upstairs 2 down), 3 baths in 1500 Sq ft upstairs and a finished 1500 sq ft basement. Property taxes last year were $2,200</p>
<p>Delaware doesn’t have a sales tax either I believe. I live in NH and whenever I go out of state sales tax always surprises me.</p>
<p>Our sales tax is 9.75 so it adds up quickly. We have no income tax, however.</p>
<p>In Tennessee, the tax-free weekend items are:</p>
<p>Clothing – for items priced $100 or lower (I guess prom dresses are not included)</p>
<p>School and Art supplies – for items priced $100 or lower</p>
<p>Computers – $1500 and lower, computer only, not accessories</p>
<p>The stores are generally packed and we always stay away.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yes, me too.</p>
