Oklahoma keeps its tax-free weekend short and simple: the first Friday through Sunday of August, clothing and shoes under $100 a piece, and nothing else on the list.
August 7–9, 2026
Friday, August 7 through Sunday, August 9
The Tax Commission sets the holiday as the first Friday through Sunday in August every year, so 2027's lands on the first weekend of the month — watch oklahoma.gov/tax for the confirmation.
Do online orders count?
Yes — an order placed by internet, phone, email, or mail qualifies when you order and pay during the weekend and the retailer accepts it for immediate shipment, even if the box arrives afterward.
