Nevada window tint law

Nevada's tint rule is NRS 484D.440. It covers vehicles that must be registered in Nevada. The general rule bans any transparent material on the windshield or any side or rear window that changes its color or reduces its light transmission. The statute then lists exceptions.

Front side windows (driver and front passenger)

The windows to the immediate right and left of the driver may be tinted if the film is:

• nonreflective, and
• lets through at least 35 percent of light, measured through the film and the glass together, with a tolerance of 7 percent.

Rear side windows and rear window

Side windows behind the driver and the rear window may be tinted if the vehicle has outside mirrors on each side that show the driver the highway at least 200 feet to the rear. The statute sets no light transmission limit for these windows.

Windshield

Film is allowed only on the topmost part of the windshield, and only if:

• the bottom edge of the film is at least 29 inches above the undepressed driver's seat, measured from a point 5 inches in front of the bottom of the backrest, with the seat in its rearmost and lowest position and the vehicle on level ground, and
• the film is not red or amber.

Other exceptions in the statute

• Vehicles of model year 1993 or older that had the material applied before July 1, 1993 are not covered by the ban on driving with it.
• Glass that came from the factory with tint as standard or optional equipment, allowed under federal rules at the time of manufacture, is not prohibited.
• A violation is not a moving traffic violation for purposes of NRS 483.473.

Medical exemptions

NRS 484D.440 does not list a medical exemption. Subsection 6 lets the Director of the Department of Motor Vehicles provide exemptions and exceptions by regulation. Check with the Nevada DMV if you need one.
