Understanding Florida Window Tint Laws

Florida window tint laws are based on Visible Light Transmission (VLT), which measures how much light passes through your windows. Each window on your vehicle has its own legal limit, and exceeding it can result in citations.

At Sage Auto Wraps, every tint installation is measured, verified, and installed to meet Florida state requirements while still delivering heat rejection, UV protection, and clean aesthetics.

Legal Tint Limits by Window

Front Windshield

Non reflective tint is allowed on the top 6 inches only. This sun strip reduces glare without impacting visibility.

Front Side Windows

Must allow more than 28 percent of light through. This applies to all passenger vehicles.

Back Side Windows

Must allow more than 15 percent of light transmission, providing added privacy while remaining legal.

Rear Window

Must allow more than 15 percent of light. Vehicles with tinted rear windows must have dual side mirrors.

Additional Florida Tint Requirements

Restricted Film Colors

Red, amber, and blue tint films are prohibited due to their resemblance to emergency vehicle lighting.

Reflectivity Limits

Tint film may not exceed 25 percent reflectivity, preventing glare that could distract other drivers.

Certification and Compliance Stickers

Certified film is required, and vehicles must display a compliance sticker verifying legal installation.
