Home energy rebates

Florida wasn’t listed as taking applications for the federal Home Energy Rebate programs (HOMES or HEAR) in an Oct 12, 2026 review of state program pages. Programs open and close as money runs out, so check your state energy office. The federal tax credits for efficiency upgrades and home solar ended after 2025. What’s left in 2026.

Gas lawn equipment

Florida law blocks local bans on gas lawn equipment (from July 1, 2026). We don’t list any local gas leaf blower bans in Florida yet. All local bans.

Clotheslines

Florida has a law that limits bans on clotheslines, including by HOAs. Right-to-dry laws.
