What percentage of tint is allowed on vehicle windows? FAQ Category Motor Vehicles/Trailers FAQ Answer

The percentage of tint on vehicle windows allowed by law are as follows:

  • Front windshield: at least 70% light transmittance (no more than 30% tint) below the AS-1 line or below the top 5 inches of the windshield.
  • Other windows: effective August 1, 2025, other windows must have at least 35% light transmittance (no more than 65% tint)
    • When calculating total tint, the factory tinting on windows must be included. For example, a 50% tint added to a window with a 30% factory tint would exceed the allowed limit.
  • Windows behind the operator: may be tinted with zero light transmittance as long as the motor vehicle is equipped with outside mirrors on both sides.
