Nevada Window Tint Checker (2026)
The legal tint limit for every window position in Nevada (35% on the front sides), checked against your own film's VLT, with the medical exemption and what a ticket costs.
Nevada 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 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.
