If you have been looking at replacing your old windows and doors with impact-rated products, now is a great time. The State of Florida enacted a bill offering a temporary Home Hardening Tax Exemption program for 2-year starting July 1, 2022. This means you will pay no sales tax on impact-resistant doors and windows replacement. The sales tax savings applies to both residential and commercial properties.

Homeowners and businesses who take advantage of the tax-free program will save not only on the cost of installation of impact windows and doors but will be eligible to save on their insurance premiums by having an inspector provide wind-mitigation certificates on the upgrades.

The State of Florida is reacting to increased insurance costs by offering this tax relief savings to encourage home hardening upgrades to protect their home and businesses in the event of a storm. By making these upgrades and getting a wind mitigation inspection, you can significantly reduce your insurance cost.
