Arizona window tint law, in plain English

Arizona is one of the friendlier tint states, but the rules are specific about which window is which. Here is the whole law as it applies to a passenger vehicle, without the statute language.

Limo-dark rear glass with legal fronts: the standard Arizona setup.

Reflectivity rules in Arizona

Side window film cannot be more reflective than a standard window, with the statute capping mirror-like metallic films. This is another reason modern ceramic film is the easy answer: it gets its heat rejection from ceramic particles, not from a mirrored surface, so it never runs into the reflectivity rule.

Arizona medical exemptions

Arizona law allows darker front tint for drivers with a documented medical condition that requires protection from sunlight. If that is your situation, talk to your doctor about the paperwork first, then bring it to us and we will build the vehicle around it.

How we handle it in the 928

We install to the legal limit, and we tell you when a shade you are asking for is not legal on that window instead of installing it and letting you find out at a traffic stop. Darker is available where the law allows it, which in Arizona is most of the vehicle.

This guide is a plain-language summary, not legal advice. Statutes get amended, so if you need the letter of the law, check the current Arizona Revised Statutes on window tinting or ask us and we will point you to it.
