Ohio's Tax Free Shopping Weekend

Save on Back to School Shopping in Ohio

July 22, 2026

Ohio offers a sales tax holiday of at least three days that includes the first Friday, Saturday, and Sunday of August each year if a budget surplus exists. For 2026, Ohio’s sales tax holiday is from 12:00 a.m. Friday, August 7 until 11:59 p.m. Sunday, August 9.

The exemption will apply to all items of clothing priced at $75 or less, school supplies priced at $20 or less, and school instructional materials priced at $20 or less.

Note: There will be no expanded sales tax holiday on items $500 and under in 2026.

All this information can be found on the Ohio Department of Taxation Website.

Just an FYI: The sales tax holiday will not include tangible personal property that is over $500 like watercraft, a motor vehicle, an alcoholic beverage, tobacco, a vapor product, or an item that contains marijuana.
