What happens if your window tint isn't legal?

Tint that falls outside the Arizona limits can lead to a citation. A fix-it ticket may require you to correct the film and show proof that the vehicle now complies.

The cost of removing non-compliant window tint

Removing non-compliant film is slow work and can damage glass or defroster lines without the right tools. Choosing a legal shade from the start avoids the job altogether.

  • Fine: Up to $500 on the spot fine
  • Fix-it ticket: proof of correction may be required
  • Repeat offenses: further action possible
  • More attention: non-compliant tint can attract stops
  • Insurance: non-compliance can complicate matters
