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
XP patients face life-threatening danger from any UV exposure. Window tint is not just helpful — it's medically essential for survival. Florida grants tint exemptions for XP patients as a critical medical accommodation.
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.
