Florida Tint Laws Explained: How to Stay Legal and Stylish

Thinking of tinting your car windows? In Miami, you don’t just have to think about style and comfort — you also need to follow Florida state tint laws. Here’s what you need to know to stay legal while still enjoying a sleek, shaded ride.

What Are the Florida Tint Laws?

As of 2025, Florida law states:

• Front side windows must allow more than 28% of light in (Visible Light Transmission or VLT).
• Back side windows can have any darkness if you have dual side mirrors.
• Rear windows can also be any darkness with dual side mirrors.
• Windshield can have non-reflective tint above the AS-1 line.

Key Legal Considerations

1. VLT Ratings Matter

Each window is evaluated based on how much visible light it lets through. AutoTronics offers certified films with clearly labeled VLT levels to meet regulations.

2. Reflectivity Limits

Florida prohibits any tint that reflects more than 25% of light on side windows. We ensure all our films meet this requirement.

3. Medical Exemptions

Drivers with certain medical conditions (e.g., lupus or photosensitivity) can apply for exemptions to install darker tints legally. AutoTronics can guide you through the paperwork.

4. Vehicle Type Differences

Trucks, SUVs, and passenger cars have slightly different rules. We know the law — and we tailor your tint job accordingly.

5. Certification Stickers

After installation, we place a legal compliance sticker between the tint and window frame as required by Florida law.

Why Legal Tinting Is Crucial

Avoiding tickets isn’t the only reason to follow the law. Illegal tints can:

• Void insurance in some cases
• Fail state inspections
• Lead to costly fines or required removal
