On June 24, 2026, the Governor of Ohio signed House Bill 479, which expands the state’s sales tax holiday to fifteen days beginning in August 2027. Under the expanded holiday, retail sales of qualifying tangible personal property priced at $500 or less are exempt. For August 2026, however, the holiday takes a narrower form, applying only to certain items such as school supplies and clothing.
More information concerning the legislation may be found here.
