The state's smog check or emissions testing program only affects those whose vehicles are primarily kept in the following counties:
You'll be notified on your vehicle registration renewal card if your car needs the smog check. (You can check your car's emissions status on the DMV site.) If it does, take it to one of the nine inspection stations in southeastern Wisconsin. Just don't go on a Wednesday or Sunday, as the stations are closed on those days.
Keep in mind your car can complete the smog testing up to 180 days in advance of its registration renewal date, so there's no need to wait until right before the deadline.
Cars that can't pass the inspections by their registration renewal date face a suspended car registration. As the car owner, it's up to you to bring your car into compliance by completing the required repairs.
