Penalty

• It is a misdemeanor to violate Georgia's law for tinted windows in a vehicle. According to the Georgia Department of Public Safety, you face a fine of up to $1,000 and up to 12 months imprisonment (as of 2010) if you drive "a vehicle with illegal window tint" or install it on a vehicle.
  
  

Out of State Vehicles

• The tinted window law was changed in 2005 to include vehicles registered in other states. "House Bill 20 corrected the language so the law applies to all vehicles, whether registered in Georgia or another state," according to Colonel Bill Hitchens, commander of the Georgia State Patrol.
  
  

Medical Exemption

• You can apply for a medical exemption to Georgia's window tint law if you need dark windows to operate a vehicle. Complete an application for exemption. Include a $10 fee (as of 2010) and a signature from your medical doctor.
