Nevada’s window tint law is more permissive than most surrounding states. Here’s a clear guide to the VLT limits, medical exemptions, and enforcement for Summerlin drivers in 2026.
The law (NRS 484D.440)
| Window | Minimum VLT | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Windshield | n/a | AS-1 strip only across the top |
| Front side windows | 35% | Both driver and passenger |
| Rear side windows | Any darkness | 5% limo dark is legal |
| Rear window | Any darkness | 5% limo dark is legal |
Common Polar Tint Summerlin pairings
- 35% front + 20% rear sides + 5% back: most-requested pairing on sedans
- 35% front + 5% all rear glass: privacy maximum on SUVs and trucks
- 50% VLT all sides + 35% on rear: maximum heat rejection without visible darkness on the front
How darkness affects the front sides
On front side windows, Nevada sets the line at 35% VLT. Anything below that is darker than the state limit and is what an officer can cite on a traffic stop. Most Summerlin drivers pair a 35% front with darker rear glass to get the privacy look while keeping the fronts compliant. Tell us what you have in mind and we’ll walk you through how each combination reads against the law before you decide.
Medical exemptions
Nevada allows medical exemption stickers for darker tint with a physician statement. The exemption attaches to the vehicle (not the driver). With a verified exemption, below-35% front tint is permitted under state law.
Enforcement
Summerlin PD and Nevada Highway Patrol do enforce tint law, especially on traffic stops. A modest moving-violation fine applies and the citation requires removal before re-inspection. Knowing where the 35% line sits lets you choose your front-window darkness with the trade-offs in full view.
