Are tinted windows legal in Florida?

Trooper Steve answers viewer questions

ORLANDO, Fla. – Great question, Elizabeth! Let’s break it down.

Yes, tinted windows are allowed in Florida, but there are limits.

The law requires:

• Front side windows must let in at least 28% of light.

• Back side and rear windows need at least 15% light transmission (or 6% for SUVs and vans).

• Windshields can only have tint on the top portion (above the AS-1 line).

If a car’s tint is so dark you can’t see inside, it’s probably illegal — but enforcement varies.
