Can contractor-purchased impact windows qualify for the Florida tax refund?
Yes, according to the Department of Revenue’s contractor example. The owner’s claim must include the manufacturer’s or retailer’s receipt to the contractor showing Florida sales tax paid on the qualifying products, so arrange for that documentation before the work is finished.
Can I use the Florida tax refund and a My Safe Florida Home grant for the same project?
They are separate programs with different eligibility and paperwork. The official material reviewed does not say that receiving one automatically disqualifies you from the other, but confirm the exact project with both programs before signing or starting work and do not assume the same cost can be reimbursed twice.
