Window tint · Nevada

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.

Nevada legal tint limit, window by window
Front side windows
35% VLT min
At least 35% total light transmission, with a statutory tolerance of 7%; the window must also be nonreflective.
Back side windows
Any darkness
Any darkness, provided the vehicle has an outside mirror on each side giving a clear rear view for at least 200 feet.
Rear window
Any darkness
Any darkness, provided the vehicle has an outside mirror on each side giving a clear rear view for at least 200 feet.
Windshield
Strip above 29 in; not red/amber
A sunscreening strip is allowed only across the topmost portion, with its bottom edge at least 29 inches above the undepressed driver seat (measured 5 inches in front of the bottom of the backrest), and it must not be red or amber..
Medical exemption
NRS 484D.440 contains no medical exemption. Subsection 6 lets the Director adopt regulations granting further exemptions, but the statute itself sets out no physician-waiver path for tint.
Penalty
Not specified in this section; NRS 484D.440 states the restriction but sets no fine amount here.
Tint-meter tolerance
A 7% tolerance applies to the 35% front-window light-transmission figure

Enter your film's VLT above to check it against each Nevada window limit, or read the limits as they stand.

Any darkness is allowed behind the driver only when the vehicle has outside mirrors on both sides giving a 200-foot rear view (§484D.440(3)(b)).

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 Nevada 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 Nevada window tint reference, cited to Nev. Rev. Stat. §484D.440.

How the Nevada tint rules work

Nevada does two things most desert states do not. It writes a 7% tolerance straight into the 35% front-window rule, so a reading near 28% is not automatically a ticket. And it drops any darkness limit behind the driver as long as the vehicle carries an outside mirror on each side. The windshield is the strict part: film is confined to a strip whose bottom edge sits at least 29 inches above the driver seat and cannot be red or amber.

This checker applies the Nevada 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 Nevada window tint reference, cited to Nev. Rev. Stat. §484D.440.
