Labor Day weekend could be the perfect time to put in some work around the house. Starting Saturday, Sept. 3, people across Florida can save money on tools and other home repair and construction items as part of the state’s first “tool time” sales tax holiday.
The seven-day holiday, which was part of a wide-ranging tax bill passed this year, will allow shoppers to avoid paying sales taxes on numerous home repair and construction items from Saturday through Sept. 9.
At “An Olde Time Hardware and Building Supply” in Springfield, the name of the game is community. The building on North Main Street has been in existence for over 70 years. The store has been there for about 35 years. Tyler Wilson is a store manager and says he and his colleagues are happy to help customers get what they need, while saving some cash.
