Re: Emissions, What to Do?
I faced a similar situation a few years back with an old pickup truck when I
got stationed in California. I spent alot of money having the exhaust upgraded and replacing the catalytic converter. Once I got there though, I found out that I could just keep my S Carolina tags and nobody even cared, including the base and the state. I'm in N Carolina now and just replaced the California tag on my Cherokee with a local one after living here for about 7 years. I don't think you'll have any problems keeping your FL tags and registration.

Hi Jim,
Look though Arizona Military Personnel Information, and see if you can find an exemption: http://www.dot.state.az.us/mvd/Milit...nformation.htm God Bless America, ßill O|||||||O mailto:-------------------- http://www.----------.com/ Drink wrote: > > Hi All, > I might have to move in the near future to a place that has emissions > inspections (Arizona).

Re: Jeep Emissions, What to Do?
Bill,
According to your link, emissions testing apply only to the Phoenix and Tucson metro areas. I knew that. I lived no where near those cities so I never had a requirement. Since I'm out of state now (have been since 2000), I receive a registration notification card when my reg is due, but nothing for emissions requirements. I live in VA now where emissions testing is required. That's why I still carry reg & Lic in AZ. AZ DMV only requires me to prove that I have liability insurance for AZ. Since coverage requirements in VA are greater than in AZ, I just have my insurance company (USAA) send me an AZ insurance card. AZ DMV is happy with that. Scott 91YJ "L.W.

I was under 21, and the State of Montana claimed that I could not change my residence away from Montana while still under 21, and that therefore I had to pay Montana State Income Tax for my military income up to the date where I actually turned 21. I fought. I lost. Sadly, I couldn't find any liquid bullsh*t that would write well enough when I sent them the check with a suggestion as to what they could do with it...but they just cashed the thing. Meanwhile, New Mexico allowed me to claim "resident" status for the purposes of getting in-state tuition rates and even noted that this did *not* mean I would have to pay any income tax on military pay...even if it was received 3 months after I left the service. New Mexico also allowed me to register my car as a local resident. |
