• In  2004, annual emissions testing is required for 1980-2001 year models. (2002 and newer models are exempt from testing in 2004) The test is valid for one year from date of the test and is good for one renewal only.
• Senior Citizens may receive an emission waiver if they are at least age 65, the vehicle is at least 10-years old and the mileage driven is less than 5,000 miles per year. The inspection waiver, because of the mileage restriction, must be applied for every year. Remember, this applies to mailed-in tag applications as well as those applied for in person.
