Georgia Sales Tax Holiday - Georgians will have the opportunity to purchase qualified energy efficient products with NO state or local sales tax from Thursday, October 1 through Sunday, October 4, 2009. This is due to House Bill 120 passed by the Georgia Legislature this year. A range of products up to $1,500 marked with the Energy Star logo and purchased for personal use are included in this incentive.
The energy efficient products eligible for the exemption are as follows:
- Air conditioners
- Ceiling fans
- Fluorescent light bulbs
- Clothes washers
- Dishwashers
- Windows (including skylights)
- Refrigerators
- Programmable thermostats
- Dehumidifiers
- Doors
The water efficient products eligible for the exemption are as follows:
- Bathroom sink faucets or aerators
- High-efficiency toilets and flushing urinals
The exemptions are intended for items purchased for non-commercial home or personal use. The exemptions do not apply to products not specifically listed above and products with a purchase price over $1,500.
Getting the water effficient products tax free will be especially great for Dekalb County Home Sellers needing to comply with the Dekalb County Plumbing Ordinance that went into effect last year requiring plumbing fixtures to be low flow. New homeowners will not be able to have the water turned on without proof of the low flow fixtures in place. Homes sold in Dekalb County GA must disclose this ordinance.
