Arizona Vehicle Emissions Inspections
Alternative Fuel Vehicle (AFV) Emissions Test Requirement
All AFVs, except electric, solar, and hydrogen powered vehicles, registered in, or used to commute into, the metro Phoenix or metro Tucson areas are required to have emissions testing before the vehicle can be registered. An alternate fee may be paid for Model Year 2005 and newer original equipment manufactured AFVs instead of having the emissions test performed. New AFVs being registered for the first time are not required to be tested, but emissions testing will be required before an updated registration is granted in subsequent years. For more information, visit the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality Web site. (Reference Arizona Revised Statutes 49-542)
