Comptroller Peter Franchot announced he wants residents to take advantage of this time -- not only for their children's back-to-school supplies, but for also themselves.

"August's temperatures are sizzling, and so are the savings during Shop Maryland Tax-Free Week," Franchot said. "Whether you're looking to freshen up your wardrobe for the cooler months ahead or need to get your kids the latest styles for the new school year, this end-of-summer tradition is a great time to shop, save and support Maryland businesses."

Any piece of clothing or footwear under $100 will be exempt from the state's sales tax. The first $40 of any backpack is also tax free.
