Window Tint Laws in Kansas
Laws change. Verify current requirements with your local DMV/RMV before choosing or installing film. This is not legal advice.
VLT is visible light transmission: lower percentages mean darker windows. A film's labeled shade is not necessarily the finished glass-plus-film reading. The limits below cover ordinary passenger cars unless stated otherwise.
- Front side windows
- At least 35% total VLT; nonreflective.
- Rear side windows
- At least 35% total VLT; nonreflective.
- Back window
- At least 35% total VLT; nonreflective.
- Windshield strip
- Nonreflective strip only above clearly marked AS-1; not red, yellow or amber.
Vehicle class and conditions
Measurement basis: Combined glass-plus-film visible light transmission, not the film label alone.
SUV, van and multipurpose-vehicle rear sides: At least 35% total VLT; nonreflective.
SUV, van and multipurpose-vehicle back window: At least 35% total VLT; nonreflective.
- No ordinary MPV rear-window exemption is stated.
- Medical-related clear UV material is not a dark-tint exemption: material at least 78% VLT, completed glazing at least 70% and FMVSS 205 compliance, with signed physician/optometrist statement.
