Charlottesville365; Virginia Sales Tax Holiday October 8-11

Every year, Virginia enjoys a four day sales tax holiday on different items and supplies. It always falls on the Friday (through the weekend) of the second Monday in October. This year, it will fall on Friday October 8 – Monday October 11, 2010. This is a great time to make some EnergyStar purchases if you’ve been considering updating the systems or appliances in your home! Note that it covers several appliances, plus HVAC systems, as well as much smaller items- fans, florescent light bulbs, faucets, toilets, etc.

From the Virginia Department of Taxation, Virginia.gov site;

October Sales Tax Holiday: Energy Star and WaterSense Qualified Products

When: This four-day holiday begins on the Friday before the second Monday of October each year. The 2010 holiday will take place Friday, October 8, 2010, through Monday, October 11, 2010.

What’s Exempt: During this period, purchases of certain Energy Star and WaterSense qualified products purchased for non-commercial use and costing $2,500 or less will be exempt from sales tax. The exempt Energy Star items include dishwashers, clothes washers, refrigerators, air conditioners, ceiling fans, compact fluorescent light bulbs, and programmable thermostats that carry the Energy Star designation. The exempt WaterSense items include bathroom sink faucets, faucet accessories, and toilets. Retailers may also choose to absorb the tax on other items during the holiday period, but they are responsible for paying the tax on those items to the Department of Taxation.

    🚨 Welcome to REAL, Ryan! 🚨 

Please help me give a warm welcome to @ryanburksrealtor, one of the newest additions to our REAL family!

Ryan is a seasoned agent in Waynesboro, VA, with a background in homebuilding and a true heart for helping people navigate their real estate journey. We first connected at a conference years ago, and since then, Ryan’s been a familiar face—showing up to classes, webinars, and implementing what he’s learned. 🙌🏼

When he reached out recently for mentorship and alignment with REAL, I was deeply honored. It’s agents like Ryan—committed, community-driven, and collaborative—who are helping us grow something really special in the Shenandoah Valley and beyond.

✨ Stay tuned as we announce even more incredible agents joining our REAL crew this month!

Curious why so many top agents are making the move to @realbrokerage?
