Virginia Window TintMedical Exemption
Virginia is one of the few states with annual safety inspections that test window tint. Fail the inspection, and you can't renew your registration. Under §46.2-1052, a medical exemption from a VA-licensed physician is the only way to legally exceed VLT limits — and confirm current inspection requirements.

Virginia Window Tint Law Limits
Under §46.2-1052, Virginia uses a two-tier VLT system: 50% for front side windows, 35% for back. Maximum reflectivity is 20%. Red, amber, and yellow tint colors are prohibited on all vehicles.
Compare Virginia to neighboring states: Maryland allows 35%/35%, North Carolina allows 35%/35%, DC prohibits all front tint, and West Virginia allows 35%/35%. Virginia's unique annual inspection test makes it the most consequential state in the region for tint compliance.
