According to Arizona's MVD web pages...
" What must be tested?
Arizona law requires all vehicles registered in metro
Phoenix or Tucson to be inspected within 90 days of the date the
current registration expires unless:
The vehicle model year is 1996 or newer.
The vehicle is older than 1967.
The vehicle is pro-rated (licensed in more than
one state).
The vehicle is non-motorized or is a trailer.
The vehicle is electric powered, a golf cart, or
has an engine displacement of less than 90 cubic centimeters.
The vehicle is leased to a person residing
outside the emission control areas.
The vehicle is transferred between dealers
(wholesale)...
and
....If you work or go to school in the emissions test area, but register
outside of the area, Arizona law requires that you have the vehicle
inspected."
Also, the only authorised emissions stations seem to be listed in Tucson,
Phoenix, Mesa, Glendale, Chandler and Scottsdale. Can I assume if you don't
reside and/or work in those areas around Phoenix and Tucson that you are
"residing outside of the emmissions control areas"?
