WaterSense Tax Holiday in Virgina

Virgina is having a tax holiday October 8th through the 11th for Energy Star and WaterSense labeled appliances. It's a great long Columbus day weekend for energy-efficent appliances, which are exempt from the normal 5% sales tax that combine the federal and state sales taxes of the state of virgina.  Very expensive products are not included in this tax exemption though.  Only products that are below $2,500 which are purchased for home use only will receive the tax benefit.  

Some examples of WaterSense products are toilets, bathroom & kitchen faucets, and faucet accessories.  If your not down for buying a brand new home applicance right now, don't fret.  Pre-owned items also qualify for the tax break.  Of course, who wants to save a few bucks on a rented kitchen faucet?  You can check out virgina.gov for some FAQ on the tax holiday.
