Florida's window tint laws for 2025 specify the following legal tint limits:

  • Front side windows (driver and passenger): Must allow at least 28% of light to pass through (28% Visible Light Transmission or VLT). This applies to all vehicles including sedans, SUVs, trucks, and vans.
  • Rear side windows and rear windshield:
    • For sedans: Must allow at least 15% VLT.
    • For SUVs, vans, and trucks: Can have darker tint, permitting as low as 6% VLT.
  • Windshield: Non-reflective tint is permitted only above the AS-1 line (the factory mark on the windshield). If the AS-1 line is not marked, tinting is allowed up to 5 inches from the top of the windshield.
  • Reflective properties: Front windows can reflect no more than 25% of light, and rear windows no more than 35%.
  • Colored tints such as red or blue are not allowed.
  • Dual side mirrors are mandatory if rear windows are tinted darker than legal limits.
  • A tint compliance sticker must be visible inside the driver’s side door jamb.

Medical exemptions exist for certain conditions and require proper documentation in the vehicle. In summary, the darkest legal tint is 28% VLT on front side windows and 15% VLT on rear windows for sedans, with SUVs and vans allowed to go darker on rear windows (6% VLT). Tinting below the AS-1 line on the windshield is prohibited.
