Ohio Window Tint Law: Quick Answers
A plain-English summary of Ohio's rules, not legal advice.
How dark can my front side windows be in Ohio?
The driver and front passenger windows must let in at least 50% of light (plus or minus 3%), measured with the film and the glass together, and the film can't be red or yellow (Ohio Adm.Code 4501-41-03(A)(3)).
Can I tint my windshield in Ohio?
Film on the windshield must keep total light transmittance at 70% or more (plus or minus 3%) and can't be red or yellow. A strip along the top that doesn't extend below the AS-1 line or 5 inches from the top, whichever is closer to the top, isn't regulated. Reflective film isn't allowed on any window (Ohio Adm.Code 4501-41-03(A)(2), (A)(5) and (D)).
Is there a limit on rear side and back windows in Ohio?
There's no darkness limit for the windows behind the driver. If the back (rear) window lets in less than 50% of light (plus or minus 3%), the vehicle must have outside rear-view mirrors on both the left and right sides (Ohio Adm.Code 4501-41-03(A)(4)).
Is limo tint legal on front windows in Ohio?
No, unless you carry a valid medical affidavit under Ohio Adm.Code 4501-41-05(A). Front side windows must let in at least 50% of light. Ohio allows a 3% light-transmission measurement tolerance (the rule's ±3%), so readings down to 47% pass; anything darker doesn't meet Ohio's rule. Driving a vehicle with non-conforming tint is a minor misdemeanor, and installing non-conforming film is a fourth-degree misdemeanor for the installer (Ohio Rev. Code 4513.241(C), (D) and (K)).
