Can You Get a Tint Exemption for Xeroderma Pigmentosum in Florida?
Xeroderma Pigmentosum (XP) is a rare genetic condition where the body cannot repair UV damage, making even minimal sun exposure extremely dangerous and potentially life-threatening.
Xeroderma Pigmentosum Symptoms That Qualify
The following symptoms of Xeroderma Pigmentosum are relevant to qualifying for a window tint medical exemption in Florida:
- Extreme sensitivity to UV radiation
- Severe sunburns from minimal exposure
- Freckling in sun-exposed areas
- High risk of skin cancer from any UV
- Eye damage from light exposure
How Xeroderma Pigmentosum Qualifies You for a Tint Exemption
Florida's extreme UV environment makes Xeroderma Pigmentosum life-threateningly dangerous. Standard auto glass does not block all UVA radiation, and Florida's subtropical latitude delivers some of the highest UV doses in the continental US. Under Florida Statutes §316.2953 and §316.2954, XP patients receive tint exemptions as a critical medical necessity — darker tint is essential for survival during any vehicle travel in Florida.
To qualify, you need to demonstrate that your Xeroderma Pigmentosum makes it medically necessary for you to have darker window tint than what Florida law normally allows. Our licensed physicians review your existing documentation against state requirements — we do not diagnose. You must already have records from a primary care physician or eye care specialist confirming your condition.

Current Florida Tint Laws
Without a medical exemption, Florida law limits window tint to 28% VLT VLT on front side windows and 15% VLT VLT on back side windows. Violations carry fines starting at $116 fine.
With an approved medical exemption for Xeroderma Pigmentosum, you may be permitted to have darker window tint than these standard limits, providing the protection you need while staying legal.
