There isn't just tax free holiday for back to school, but now there is two. Check out some tax free items you can get for back to school in January. The back to school holiday runs from January 1 - 14, 2024. Maybe you are looking to buy a new computer or just small school supplies. Well, the back to school tax free holiday is a great week to buy those items.

This all comes from Florida's Department of Revenue. You can see the items below.

Even if you don’t have a child in school, you can still take advantage of this deal. I actually took advantage of it when I bought a new computer and didn’t have to pay tax on the brand new computer. So, if you were looking to buy a new computer or maybe some clothing or footwear now is a great time to do so but you need to do it by January 14.

Usually this tax free holiday has only been one time per year in July. A second holiday was added to this school year. This was passed by the Florida Legislature and signed into law by Governor Ron DeSantis. There are many things you can get no tax on for back to school and it’s pretty much anything you can think of that you will need for school the Florida Department of revenue has a great list of everything that you can get free for this upcoming second half of the school year.

It's time to close the chapter to 2023 and look forward to the next year. Luckily for us in Tampa, there's a lot to be excited about in 2024. Be on the lookout for these new businesses and experiences in Tampa Bay next year.

Champa Bay seems to be growing and expanding more and more each year. So many new places and experiences popped up in 2023, and it was hard to keep track. We discovered a bunch of new restaurants, hotels, and adventures that opened up this past year. 2024 might be even better! We get to look forward to new restaurants and bars, roller coasters, and so many big acts playing Tampa venues (just to name a few). With the help of Creative Loafing and That's So Tampa, we made a list of 5 things to look forward to in Tampa in 2024

To help make this list, we got some of our inspiration from Creative Loafing. They told us 20 new restaurants to look out for in 2024. A couple of them made our list, but you can check out the full list here. But we wanted to expand more on things to get excited about in Tampa for next year.

Tampa had a lot of growth in 2023, leaving us excited for what's to come. This year we said "hello" to many new businesses and attractions including the tallest rooftop bar in Tampa, new restaurants with Michelin-star chefs, changes to our favorite theme park, and more. We also said "goodbye" to some of our favorite businesses and athletes who got traded to other teams (like Pat Maroon on the Tampa Bay Lightning and Ji-man Choi on the Rays).

One of the great things about Tampa is it's constantly changing for the better. But that also means it's becoming a really competitive market for those looking to move here. One thing we can count on with all of these new additions of 5-star restaurants and new affordable and luxury housing is that more people will surely be packing their things and heading to the Tampa Bay area. If you plan on making the move next year, check out some of our realistic advise before making the move.

We've already told you about some of the new places we're excited to see open in 2024. Coffee enthusiasts can get excited for a famous west coast coffee chain to open in Tampa next year. Dutch Bros coffee will be coming to the Ballast Point sometime in 2024. Learn more about that here.
