Think batteries (AA, AAA, C, D, 6V, 9V), all bicycle helmets, carbon monoxide alarms, fire extinguishers, insect repellent, life jackets, sunscreen, smoke detectors, portable generators, waterproof tarps (under 1,000 sq ft), portable fuel cans, and more. These exemptions were previously offered only during limited tax holidays but now apply year-round—making it easier to stay safe and prepared without the sticker shock.
