Denton County residents looking to chill out this Memorial Day weekend may also cool down their electric bills.
The annual Texas Energy Star Sales Tax Holiday runs May 23-25, giving shoppers a chance to save on select energy-efficient appliances and household products without paying state sales tax.
The tax-free holiday begins Saturday and continues through midnight Monday, according to the Texas Comptroller’s Office. There is no limit on the number of qualifying items shoppers can purchase, and no exemption certificate is required.
Eligible Energy Star-labeled products include air conditioners priced at $6,000 or less and refrigerators priced at $2,000 or less. Other qualifying items include ceiling fans, incandescent and fluorescent light bulbs, clothes washers, dishwashers and dehumidifiers.
The Comptroller’s Office encourages Texans to support local businesses while taking advantage of the savings opportunity.
Several household appliances and cooling products remain taxable during the holiday, even if they carry the Energy Star label. Non-qualifying items include water heaters, clothes dryers, freezers, stoves, attic fans, heat pumps, wine refrigerators, kegerators and beverage chillers.
