What a window tint ticket costs in Nevada
No one can honestly quote you a single number, and we are not going to invent one. Nevada fixes the offence — misdemeanor under Nev. Rev. Stat. 484D.440, with no amount set in the statute itself. The total on the citation comes from the fee schedule of the court that issued it, which varies by county.
| What the statute fixes | Nevada |
|---|---|
| Offence | Misdemeanor |
| Amount set by statute | None — the citing court's schedule sets it |
| Correctable (fix-it) | Not verified |
| Licence points | Not verified |
| Statute | Nev. Rev. Stat. 484D.440 |
Why the figures online disagree
A tint citation's total is a base amount plus court costs and surcharges, and those are set per county by the citing court rather than by the tint statute. That is why three pages about the same state will quote three different numbers, all of them sourced from each other rather than from a schedule. The number that binds you is the one the clerk of the court named on your citation gives you — so that call is the first thing worth making.
What Nevada does settle
The section says a violation is a misdemeanor and stops there, so the ceiling is the general one in NRS 193.150 for any Nevada misdemeanor, and the amount within it is the court's. Two things are worth knowing before you argue the ticket. The restriction does not reach a vehicle of model year 1993 or earlier whose film was applied before 1 July 1993. And the Department of Public Safety will not approve a medical exemption below 20 percent light transmission, however dark the film already on the car is.
What to do next
- 1
Ring the clerk of the court named on the citation and ask for the amount and the appearance date. Do not rely on a figure from a blog.
- 2
Ask the same clerk whether the citation can be dismissed on proof that the film was brought into compliance — some courts allow it even where the statute is silent.
- 3
Have the film replaced with film that meters legal through the glass, and keep the receipt in case the court will take it.
The limits you were measured against
Front side windows 35% VLT minimum, back side windows No limit specified, rear window No limit specified — metered through the film and the glass together. Factory side glass already blocks some light before any film goes on, which is how film sold as “legal” ends up metering under the limit.

How much is a window tint ticket in Nevada?
There is no single statewide figure, and anyone quoting one is guessing. Nevada fixes the offence — misdemeanor under Nev. Rev. Stat. 484D.440, with no amount set in the statute — and the total you pay is set by the fee schedule of the court that issued the citation, which varies by county and is not published statewide. Call the clerk of the citing court for the figure that applies to you.
Is a tint ticket in Nevada correctable?
We could not verify that Nevada treats it as a correctable violation, so do not assume removing the film clears the citation. Ask the clerk of the citing court before the appearance date.
Does a tint ticket put points on your licence in Nevada?
We could not verify whether Nevada assigns licence points for this, so we are not going to guess. The clerk of the citing court can tell you.
What tint got me cited in Nevada?
The limits are front side windows 35% VLT, back side windows no numeric limit, rear window no numeric limit, measured through the film and the glass together — which is why film sold as legal can still meter under.
Can a medical exemption get a Nevada tint ticket dismissed?
Nevada does have a medical exemption, but it is something you hold before the stop, not a defence you assemble afterwards. If you qualify, get it in place so the next stop goes differently.
