Florida Laws and Tint Percentages Lehigh Acres, FL
Florida's window tinting laws regulate the amount of visible light transmission (VLT) that is permitted for vehicles on the state's roads.
VLT refers to the amount of light that can pass through a vehicle's windows and is measured as a percentage. What Are Florida’s Rules Regarding VLT Percentages? In Florida, the windshield must have a VLT of at least 28%, meaning that no more than 72% of the light can be blocked. The front side windows (driver and passenger side) follow the same rule. However, the back side windows and the rear window can have a VLT of any percentage, assuming your vehicle has side mirrors that provide a view behind the car. Florida law prohibits the use of certain colors and reflective tints on vehicle windows. Products that are red, blue, or green are not permitted, and reflective tints that reflect more than 25% of light are also prohibited. How Are VLT Rules Enforced? Law enforcement uses a device called a “photometer” to measure the VLT rating of your vehicle’s tint. If the reading is below the legal limit, you could be ticketed. Depending on your circumstances, you could be asked to remove the tinting. Some medical exemptions are available. Additional rules also apply to the installation process.
