Tinting Facts and the law

Window Tint Law

WINDOW TINT LAW DISCLAIMER (information courtesy of Tint Center)

We have heard stories from our users that tint laws may even be enforced differently by each regional Police Department in the same state. In all cases, refer to you local authority for enforcement policies, current window tint laws, rules or regulations as the final authority to car window tint laws in your area.

Most times these situations are not due to negligence by the police, but lack of clarity in terms of how the state window tint laws were written. You can think of the collection of laws for each state as a patchwork quilt, as time goes on, more patches need to be added and removed to keep the laws applicable towards the future.

This process sometimes causes inconsistent window tint laws (patches) to border each other and make the entire section subject to interpretation. TintCenter.com (the source of this document) tries to take the consensus opinion from many sources and publish that in our state tint laws section.

HOW DARK CAN WINDOW TINT BE IN OHIO?

Darkness of tint is measured by Visible Light Transmission percentage (VLT%). In Ohio, this percentage refers to percentage of visible light allowed in through the combination of film and the window.

Front Side Windows
Must allow more than 50% of light in.
Back Side Windows
Any darkness can be used.
Rear Window
Any darkness can be used.

HOW REFLECTIVE CAN THE TINT BE IN OHIO?

Similar to sunglass lenses, some tinting film contain metallic elements that help in reflecting incoming light and reducing the glare and heat generated by visible light.

Front Side Windows
Must not be more reflective than a standard window.
Back Side Windows
Must not be more reflective than a standard window.
