Penalties

What can happen if your window tint isn't legal?

Tint that falls outside the legal limits can attract a citation, and in some cases a fix-it style notice asking you to correct the glazing and show that the vehicle now complies. The simplest way to avoid all of it is to agree the shade with your installer before the film goes on.

The Cost of Removing Non-Compliant Tint

Removing film is slower than fitting it. Aged adhesive behaves differently, and rear defroster lines can be damaged if the work is rushed, so a shade that turns out to be too dark ends up costing twice.

  • Fine: Up to $500 on the spot fine
  • Correction notice: proof of compliance may be required
  • Repeat citations: further action for ongoing violations
  • More attention: non-compliant glazing invites traffic stops
  • Extra cost: removal and refitting comes out of your pocket
