Arizona Window Tint Checker (2026)
The legal tint limit for every window position in Arizona (33% on the front sides), checked against your own film's VLT, with the medical exemption and what a ticket costs.
Arizona window tint checker
VLT (visible light transmission) is the share of light the film lets through; a lower number is darker. It is printed on the film packaging or your installation receipt. Leave it blank to just read the limits.
Enter your film's VLT above to check it against each Arizona window limit, or read the limits as they stand.
Behind the driver Arizona caps only reflectance (35% ±3%), not darkness (§28-959.01(A)(6)).
Film is sold by its own VLT, but police measure the installed darkness: the film combined with your factory glass, which reads darker than the film alone. These are the Arizona figures stated as information, not a determination about any stop or ticket.
Informational only, not legal advice. Reflectivity limits, color bans, and vehicle-class exceptions can change the answer for a specific car. See the full rules, the exemption steps, and the citations on the Arizona window tint reference, cited to A.R.S. §28-959.01.
How the Arizona tint rules work
Arizona writes its tolerance into the law itself, 33% front transmission and 35% reflectance both carry a statutory ±3%, and measures the windshield strip not by the AS-1 line but by a 29-inch height above the driver’s seat. Behind the driver, darkness is unlimited; only mirror-like reflectivity is capped.
This checker applies the Arizona figures to the VLT you enter. It is informational only and not legal advice: reflectivity limits, color bans, and vehicle-class exceptions can change the answer for a specific car. For the full rules, the shades table, and the citations, see the Arizona window tint reference, cited to A.R.S. §28-959.01.
