The legal window tint limits in Georgia are as follows:
- Windshield: Only non-reflective tint is allowed on the top 6 inches of the windshield.
- Front side windows: Must allow more than 32% of visible light transmission (VLT), meaning the tint cannot be darker than 32% VLT.
- Back side windows and rear window: For sedans, must also allow more than 32% VLT. For SUVs and vans, any darkness is allowed on back side and rear windows.
- Reflectivity: Tint on front and back side windows must not be more than 20% reflective.
- Colors: Red and amber tint colors are prohibited.
- Medical exemptions: Georgia allows darker tinting if a medical exemption is granted.
In summary, for most passenger cars (sedans), the darkest legal tint on front and rear side windows is 32% VLT, with some allowance for SUVs and vans on rear windows. The top 6 inches of the windshield can have non-reflective tint only
. Additionally, there is a 3% tolerance allowed on the 32% VLT limit, so effectively tints allowing about 29% light transmission are considered legal
. Violating these tint laws can result in misdemeanor charges and fines up to $1,000
