Tax Free Weekend

Shop without sales tax on clothing and footwear under $100! The Iowa Sales Tax Holiday runs from Friday, August 1 through Saturday, August 2, covering all state (6%) and local (up to 1%) taxes for qualifying items.

• Save on essentials: gear up for fall with tax‑free clothing and footwear (each item under $100).
• Support local businesses: shop at your favorite small retailers downtown and across Mason City.
• No catches: unlimited eligible items per purchase, but items priced $100 or more aren’t covered
