Yes, 35% window tint is legal in Oklahoma for sedans, SUVs, and trucks, but only on the rear windows. Front-side windows must allow over 25% light transmission per Oklahoma Highway Safety Office (OHSO) standards. Vehicles registered outside Oklahoma must comply with local tint laws when operating in-state.
Key Regulations for 35% Window Tint in Oklahoma
- Front-side windows: Must transmit ≥25% visible light (VLT), measured by OHSO-certified devices. Non-compliance risks citations under 47 O.S. § 12-222.
- Rear windows: 35% VLT is permitted, but reflective tints exceeding 20% are prohibited. Medical exemptions require OHSO approval with documented conditions.
- Windshield: Non-reflective tint is allowed only above the AS-1 line (top 4 inches). Medical exemptions must be renewed biennially starting 2026 per HB 2023-112.
Local law enforcement, including Oklahoma City Police and Tulsa County Sheriff’s Office, enforce these rules via roadside inspections. Violations incur fines up to $200, with repeat offenses escalating to mandatory tint removal. Dealers must display VLT certificates, and out-of-state vehicles face inspection upon registration. Always verify compliance with OHSO’s 2024-2025 enforcement guidelines.
