Penalties

What happens if you're caught with illegal window tint?

Tint that falls outside the legal limits can lead to fines and other consequences. In many cases the result is a correction notice, which means putting the glass back within the limits and showing proof that the issue has been dealt with.

The Cost of Removing Illegal Window Tint

Window film is bonded to the glass, so removal is slow work and can leave adhesive behind. On rear glass there is also the risk of disturbing defroster lines, which is an expensive repair. Fitting a compliant film first time avoids all of it.

  • Fine: Up to $500 on the spot fine
  • Fix-it ticket: proof of correction required
  • Repeat offenses: further enforcement action possible
  • More attention from law enforcement at traffic stops
  • Insurance complications following a claim
