California Laws and Tint Percentages Fresno, CA

California is a unique state where a set of central laws work with different local jurisdictions to create different laws about tint percentage information. These rules typically apply to cars, but they can include all passenger vehicles.
 
You’ll typically can fewer tint darkness restrictions in the southern part of the state, while visibility needs are often necessary up north while traveling through the mountains.
 
It is up to each driver to ensure they’re complying with the local guidelines for where they drive. Having something legal in Fresno won’t give you a free ride if you’re in violation somewhere else in California.
