Ohio's smog check or emissions testing program only affects seven counties in northeast Ohio: Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake, Lorain, Medina, Portage, and Summit.
If you have a car registered in these counties, it must be smog or emissions tested every two years in order for you to renew its vehicle registration. Odd-numbered model year cars are tested in odd-numbered years; even-numbered cars are tested in even-numbered years.
Additionally, if you move into an E-Check county with a used car, it must pass the emissions test before you can complete its car registration.
Testing is free and can be done at E-Check testing locations scattered throughout these counties; appointments aren't taken. A waiver can sometimes be issued to car owners whose vehicle failed the emissions test and substantial efforts have been made to improve the problem.
