Feb. 24 through Feb. 26 will be the dates for the state severe weather preparedness sales tax holiday.Â
Disaster-related items costing less than $60 will not include the normal sales tax. Generators that are $1,000 will be free of the 4% sales tax while the holiday lasts.Â
A list of tax-free items can be seen here.Â
