Can You Get a Tint Exemption for Dermatitis in Michigan?
Contact and photoallergic dermatitis are skin conditions triggered by sunlight exposure, causing rashes, blistering, and inflammation. Window tint helps prevent sun-triggered reactions.
Dermatitis Symptoms That Qualify
The following symptoms of Dermatitis are relevant to qualifying for a window tint medical exemption in Michigan:
- Skin rash from sun exposure
- Blistering in sun-exposed areas
- Itching and inflammation
- Red, swollen patches on skin
- Reactions triggered by UV radiation
How Dermatitis Qualifies You for a Tint Exemption
Photoallergic and photocontact dermatitis are directly triggered by UV light. Window tint blocks UV transmission and prevents reactions. Michigan issues medical exemptions for documented sun-triggered dermatitis.
To qualify, you need to demonstrate that your Dermatitis makes it medically necessary for you to have darker window tint than what Michigan 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 Michigan Tint Laws
Without a medical exemption, Michigan law limits window tint to No aftermarket tint allowed (must be factory only) VLT on front side windows and Any darkness VLT on back side windows. Violations carry fines starting at $115 civil infraction fine.
With an approved medical exemption for Dermatitis, you may be permitted to have darker window tint than these standard limits, providing the protection you need while staying legal.
