This tax holiday applied earlier this year but has NOT yet been approved by the Iowa Legislature for 2025. As soon as I receive further information, this page will be updated. Be sure to check back often!
Don’t miss this year’s Iowa Sales Tax Holiday when doing your back-to-school shopping. The tax free weekend takes place over 2 days:
Friday, August 2

On these dates, you can purchase these items free of Iowa state sales tax:
– Clothing and footwear priced at $100 or less per item. Accessories such as jewelry, handbags, wallets, watches, backpacks, and similar items do not qualify for the Sales Tax Holiday.
