Home Hardening Sales Tax Exemption

How it works

Florida offers a sales tax exemption for qualifying home hardening products. The state’s property insurance and tax pages say the exemption was extended in 2026.

What the money covers

The official state materials say qualifying products include impact-resistant doors, garage doors, and windows that meet certain wind pressure and impact-resistance standards.

Amounts and matching

This is a tax exemption, so the value depends on the purchase price and local tax treatment. The state also says property owners can receive one home hardening sales tax refund up to $500 for eligible purchases.

How to apply

The Department of Revenue publishes form DR-26HH, Home Hardening Products Sales Tax Refund.

Timing and deadlines

The state says qualifying products purchased between July 1, 2026 and June 30, 2029 are covered. Applications for purchases made in that period are accepted from July 1, 2026 to September 30, 2029.
