No. Florida law prohibits 35% window tint on front side windows and the windshield, as it fails to meet the state’s 28% minimum VLT requirement. Local law enforcement and the Florida Highway Patrol enforce these standards, with violations subject to fines. A 2026 legislative review may tighten compliance further, aligning with federal safety guidelines.
Key Regulations for 35% Window Tint in Florida
- Front Side Windows: Must allow at least 28% of light transmission (VLT); 35% tint is illegal.
- Windshield: Non-reflective tint is permitted only above the manufacturer’s AS-1 line; 35% tint violates this.
- Medical Exemptions: Only valid with a physician’s certification, not applicable to standard 35% tint.
Local ordinances in municipalities like Miami-Dade or Orlando do not supersede state law, though some counties may enforce stricter enforcement protocols. The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) conducts periodic compliance checks, particularly in high-traffic corridors. Vehicles with aftermarket tint must display a certificate of compliance from a licensed installer, or risk citation. Failure to adhere may result in a $30 fine per violation, with potential vehicle inspection holds.
