Real Estate Agent with Brown Realty, 210-789-4216, TREC #0492321

If you missed out on the Back 2 School Expo last weekend, you’ll want to take advantage of this upcoming Tax Free Weekend, starting Friday, August 8, and ending on Sunday August 10. Yes, it’s a Sales Tax Holiday in Texas for most clothing, footwear, school supplies, and backpacks priced under $100 from sales. Shoppers can expect to save approximately $8 for every $100 spent.

 

Tax Free Weekend in TexasSee the List of Qualifying Items that are Tax Exempt this weekend only. Subject to some criteria, all sales of qualifying items made during this holiday period qualify for the exemption, including items sold online, or by telephone or mail. Lay-Away plans can be used again this year to take advantage of the sales tax holiday. See FAQ for more information on the Texas Comptroller’s site.

 

The summer is almost gone, and the new school year will be starting in a couple of weeks for most school districts in San Antonio, Texas. This weekend would be a great time to shop for all your children’s school supplies and clothing. If you planning to move, and need a new address, and a new home prior to the school year starting, call Jerry at 210-789-4216 Today. The School Boundaries change in many of our Northside school districts just about every year with all the housing growth in those areas.

Every little bit helps. I remember being a single mom and having to pay for the back to school supplies - it sure taxed my tight budget. Glad you're helping to get the word out Jerry.  D

Jerry:  My wife and I thought it was costly to put both of our boys back into school when they were younger ... they're 30 and 35 now.  Now days??  Parents and families need all the breaks they can get.  Kudos to those sponsoring this Tax Holiday in Texas ...
