Justine Griffin / Herald-Tribune – It’s less than a month until the back-to-school holiday shopping season kicks off with a tax-free weekend for Florida shoppers.

School supplies, clothing and some electronics will be exempt from sales tax at retail stores in Florida Aug. 1-3.

Shoppers won’t pay sales tax when they buy apparel — up to $100 per item, which is new this year — and on computers and other electronics that cost $750 or less

School supplies, such as pencils, backpacks and notepads, are tax-free at $15 per item.
