The tax break continues through midnight on Sunday, August 4.

The list of tax-exempt purchases falls into four categories:

• Clothing (up to $100 per item)
• Personal computers (not to exceed $3,500)
• Computer peripheral devices (not to exceed $3,500) and computer software (taxable value $350 or less)

“We encourage all O’Fallon residents to support our local businesses by ‘Keeping It in the O’ and shopping in the City for back-to-school items,” said Mike Hurlbert, O’Fallon’s Director of Economic Development. 

“Every local purchase contributes to O’Fallon’s economic vitality and supports our City’s businesses,” Hurlbert said.
