Alabama Preps for Severe Weather Preparedness
Alabama’s second annual Severe Weather Preparedness Sales Tax Holiday will be the weekend of Feb. 22-24.
The state Revenue Department says the state will waive its 4 percent sales tax on items used to prepare homes and businesses for hurricanes and tornadoes. Some cities and counties will do the same.
Items covered by the sales tax holiday include batteries, battery-powered radios, flashlights, tarpaulins, duct tape, plywood, self-contained first aid kits and fuel containers costing up to $60 per item. Also included are portable generators costing up to $1,000 each.
