MINNESOTA’S TAX-FREE CLOTHING ADVANTAGE

In the land of 10,000 lakes, savvy shoppers have discovered another reason to love Minnesota—our unique tax-free clothing policy that puts more fashion in your closet and keeps more money in your wallet. Unlike most states that tax virtually everything you wear, Minnesota gives you the gift of tax-free purchases on most clothing items, making Apple Valley an even more attractive destination for your next shopping getaway.

Step into any of our Apple Valley boutiques or retail centers and experience the joy of seeing the price tag actually match what you pay at checkout. From essential everyday wear to seasonal must-haves like snowmobile suits (because Minnesota winters demand proper attire!), your purchases of shirts, pants, jackets, boots, caps, hats, and sweatshirts all ring up without that pesky sales tax addition. The savings add up quickly, especially for families outfitting growing children or visitors looking to expand their wardrobes while exploring our retail wonderland.

While you’ll want to note that certain items like accessories (belts and handbags), fur clothing, and sporting equipment still carry the standard sales tax, the vast majority of your clothing purchases remain blissfully tax-free. This consumer-friendly policy transforms Apple Valley into a strategic shopping destination where your dollar stretches further and your shopping bags fill fuller. Whether you’re a budget-conscious family shopper or simply appreciate getting more bang for your buck, Apple Valley’s combination of diverse retail options and Minnesota’s tax-free clothing benefit creates the perfect recipe for retail satisfaction.
