NEVADA WINDOW TINT LAW: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW Nevada's window tint law regulates the allowed tint darkness and reflection for car windows to ensure safe driving visibility. Page 01
INTRODUCTION TO NEVADA WINDOW TINT LAW When it comes to window tinting, understanding Nevada’s regulations is crucial for both car owners and businesses. These laws dictate the allowable darkness and reflectiveness of tint on vehicle windows, ensuring both safety and compliance on the road. LEARN MORE Page 02 Las Vegas Window Tinting
WINDSHIELD TINT REGULATIONS In many regions, non-reflective tint is permitted only above the AS-1 line—the line typically marked on most vehicle windshields to indicate where tinting can begin. This ensures driver visibility and safety. The specific percentage of light allowed to pass through the tinted area can vary by location, but it generally falls between 70-75% VLT (Visible Light Transmission), meaning the tint must allow at least 70-75% of light through the windshield. Always check local regulations to ensure compliance with these limits. Page 03
FRONT SIDE WINDOW TINT LAW Nevada’s front side window tint laws mandate that at least 35% of visible light must pass through the windows. This ensures a balance between privacy and visibility, keeping drivers and law enforcement safe. Additionally, reflective or mirror-like tints are strictly prohibited. Tint films should not reflect more light than a standard window, preventing glare and distraction for other drivers on the road. Always ensure your window tint complies with these legal standards to avoid fines or penalties. Page 04
Page 05 REAR AND BACK WINDOW TINTING REGULATIONS When it comes to tinting your vehicle's rear and back windows, regulations can vary significantly based on the specific location of the window. Each state or country may have different laws, and these rules are often based on the percentage of light that must be allowed to pass through the tint, known as Visible Light Transmission (VLT). Rear Side Windows Rear Windshield • Tinting regulations for the rear windshield are usually more relaxed compared to front windshields. In many regions, the rear windshield can be tinted as dark as desired, as long as the vehicle has side mirrors that provide visibility. Common VLT percentages for rear windshields range from 5% to 30%. For instance: • Florida allows a VLT as low as 15% for the rear windshield. • New York requires a minimum VLT of 70% on all windows, including the rear windshield. • Many states permit darker tints on rear side windows compared to front windows, with typical VLT limits ranging from 20% to 35%. This means that 20% VLT tint allows only 20% of light to pass through, providing greater privacy and UV protection. For example: • California allows any darkness on rear side windows, as long as the vehicle has dual side mirrors. • Texas permits a minimum VLT of 25% on rear side windows.
IMPORTANCE OF COMPLIANCE Failing to follow local window tinting regulations can result in fines or required tint removal. It's important to check your state’s specific laws to ensure your vehicle is compliant, as the limits can vary not only between states but also depending on the type of vehicle (e.g., SUVs vs. sedans). Always verify your region's tinting regulations to avoid legal issues and ensure your vehicle is within the safety guidelines. Page 06
MEDICAL EXEMPTIONS FOR TINTING Tinted windows can provide relief for individuals with specific medical conditions that make them more sensitive to light. In many states or regions, you can apply for medical exemptions to legally use darker tints than normally permitted by law. Below, we’ll guide you through the process and requirements.

MEDICAL CONDITIONS THAT QUALIFY FOR DARKER TINTS • Several medical conditions make people more sensitive to UV rays and visible light, and these individuals may qualify for medical exemptions. Common conditions include: • Lupus: Patients with lupus are sensitive to sunlight, and exposure can worsen their symptoms. • Photosensitivity Disorders: People with severe photosensitivity due to medications or medical conditions often benefit from darker tints. • Skin Cancer: Those who have had skin cancer or are at high risk might need extra protection from UV exposure. • Albinism: Individuals with albinism have very sensitive skin and eyes, requiring additional protection from sunlight. • Glaucoma or Other Eye Conditions: Some eye conditions can make people highly sensitive to light, necessitating darker tinting.
