Emissions & Late Fees

Emissions

In El Paso County, emissions tests are required for diesel vehicles
If you commute to a place in the state that requires emissions tests at least 90 days per year for employment or school you will need an emissions test even though your car is not registered in that place. More info: dmv.colorado.gov/gas-vehicles
