State Rep D.J. Swearingen (R-Huron) announces local residents can take advantage of the upcoming Ohio Annual Sales Tax Holiday occurring this weekend, Aug. 5-7. The annual holiday weekend ensures Ohioans do not pay state sales tax on certain exempted items.

“This is a tax relief weekend for the families of Erie and Ottawa Counties,” Swearingen said. “As a father, I understand parents are getting ready for the upcoming school year and this weekend will allow residents to save on costs.”

The holiday exempts clothing items priced up to $75, school supplies up to $20 and school instructional materials at $20, or less. Items for trade or business are not exempt during this holiday.

State lawmakers created the sales tax holiday as a yearly event to provide additional tax relief for Ohioans during back-to-school season.

There is no limit on the number of items, and the exemption is eligible for online purchases as well.
