Penalties

What happens if your window tint is not legal

Tint that falls outside the legal limits can lead to a citation. In many cases that means a fix-it ticket, where the film has to be corrected and compliance shown before the matter is closed. Consequences vary with the circumstances, so treat the points below as general possibilities rather than a fixed schedule.

The Cost of Removing Non-Compliant Tint

Removing non-compliant film takes time and care. Aged adhesive can bond hard to the glass, and rear window defroster elements can be damaged during removal. Getting the shade right the first time is usually the cheaper route.

  • Fine: Up to $500 on the spot fine
  • Fix-it ticket: proof of correction required
  • Repeat offenses: escalating consequences possible
  • More attention from law enforcement at traffic stops
  • Insurance complications in some situations
