Florida Medical Tint Exemption – Frequently Asked Questions
Florida law restricts how dark your car’s window tints can be. For passenger vehicles, the front side windows must allow at least 28% light in, while the rear side and back windows can be darker. The Medical Tint Exemption overrides these limits if you qualify.
You may qualify if you have a medical condition that is aggravated by sunlight, including:
- Light sensitivity / photophobia
- Migraines

- Skin conditions worsened by UV exposure
