Window tint labeling violation
Florida Statute § 316.2955 / 316.2956(3)
Summary verified against the 2026 Florida Statutes: October 1, 2026.
Quick Summary
Installers or sellers must provide the specified permanent/destructible compliance label identifying the material trade name and business; the installer must affix it inside the left door jamb. Compliant factory glazing does not need this label. Establish who sold or installed the material and the omitted requirement: an absent label on a driver's vehicle alone does not prove the driver committed the installer/seller misdemeanor under §316.2956(3). Operational tint limits and their ±3% measurement tolerance are separate issues.
