Vermont window tint rules
Vermont bars material painted or adhered on any transparent part of the windshield, vent windows, or front side windows, apart from small listed spaces, so no film of any darkness is legal there without a Commissioner of Motor Vehicles medical exemption (front side windows only). No percentage is set for the rear side and back windows, which may be obstructed only with a securely attached mirror on each side (23 V.S.A. § 1125).
Summary checked against 23 V.S.A. § 1125 on 2026-09-28. Verify current statutes before quoting.
