In California, the cost of a window tint ticket can vary depending on the county, court, and whether it is treated as a fix-it ticket or a non-correctable violation, but generally the fine is relatively low compared to other traffic violations. California Vehicle Code regulates window tint, requiring that front side windows allow at least 70 percent of light in and that windshields have no tint below a certain point. If you are cited for illegal window tint, it is typically an infraction and often issued as a correctable violation, also known as a fix-it ticket under California Vehicle Code 26708. For a correctable violation, the base fine is around 25 dollars plus court fees and assessments, bringing the total to around 100 to 250 dollars, but if you correct the tint and provide proof of correction to the court and get a law enforcement officer to sign off, the ticket can be dismissed with a small dismissal fee of around 25 dollars. If it is treated as a non-correctable violation or if you fail to correct it, the fine can be higher, around 200 to 250 dollars plus fees. Repeat offenses or combining tint with other violations can increase costs. Costs also vary by county court fees.
