๐๐จ North Carolina Just Changed the Window Tint Law!
(And itโs GREAT news for anyone with dark tint!)
Big update for NC drivers: Starting December 1st, 2025, window tint is NO LONGER part of your annual safety inspection. ๐
Thatโs right โ inspectors will not be using a tint meter or failing cars for dark tint anymore.
This change comes directly from Session Law 2025-47, which amended G.S. 20-183.3 and removed tinted-window checks from the NC safety inspection process.
That means:
๐น No more failing inspection for dark tint
๐น No more tint-testing fees
๐น No more last-minute tint removals just to get your sticker
Tint laws still exist, and police can still cite illegal tint โ but your yearly inspection is now tint-free. ๐
