Does New York allow a medical exemption for window tint?
Yes. The DMV's Medical Review Unit grants exemptions on Form MV-80W to a person who must be shielded from the direct rays of the sun, where the condition is on the Department of Health list and a New York-licensed physician, physician assistant or nurse practitioner certifies it — and only when sun-protective clothing, sunscreen, eye protection or clear UV-protective film do not protect enough. The exemption covers the windshield and the front side windows only; it does not change any rear glass figure. It comes with a noticeable sticker for the shielded window. The form states no fee, and neither the law nor the form sets an expiration date.
What does legal tint cost in New York?
It turns on the vehicle, how much glass is being covered, and the film tier — dyed, carbon, and ceramic films price differently, and shops quote the finished job, not the film alone. The free 2026 New York Tint Law and Cost Guide by email (below) includes cost notes that explain what shops weigh, so a quote makes sense when you get one.
