New Emission Law - Third Generation F-Body Message Boards

Synapsis · 10-12-2007, 12:05 PM

I asked someone in another thread about it but never got a response. Apparently some zip codes in Arizona are "partially" exempt from emissions as of July this year. You can apply for a Code 52 Exemption as long as you don't drive the vehicle to work/school every day. Here's the zip codes that qualify (like mine, w00t!):

Partial Zip Codes in the Vehicle Emissions Control Areas (effective July 2007):

* Phoenix Metro Area:
85218, 85226, 85232, 85239, 85242, 85243, 85244, 85262, 85263, 85290, 85322, 85326, 85337, 85339, 85354
* Tucson Metro Area:
85629, 85641, 85653, 85654, 85658, 85735, 85736, 85739, 85743, 85746, 85747

Here's what you need to apply:

An original Code 52 certificate of exemption must be completed and include the following:

* Photocopy of current vehicle registration for each vehicle
* Photocopy of a current utility bill in the name of the applicant, identifying the physical address of applicant's residence
* Photocopy of the property owner's tax evaluation notice listing the township, range and section of residence

Guess I can leave the cats off the Iroc now.

Most of those are almost out of city limits. That sucks, cause my car rarely gets driven anymore. Thats it......I'm moving to Rita Ranch now.

Not happy with your Toilet Bowl Injection?

It means you don't have to go to inspection, but you're supposed to be a good little muscle car owner and run all the smog stuff. Like I only did one day a year until I registered in Kingman.

Now I just have to take the Lightning through inspection. It should pass the sniffer fine, it's got FOUR cats on it.

robertfrank · 10-13-2007, 12:13 PM

Yeah no sniffer here neener neener lol

How do they know if a vehicle is a daily driver?

Synapsis · 10-13-2007, 10:44 PM

I'm guessing they don't. The form requires you to list the VIN of your daily, and the VIN of the cars you want exempt. So if you have a Ferrari that'll pass emissions easily, smog that and drive your Iroc every day.

mdurbala · 10-15-2007, 12:14 AM

well, in about 3 months my house will be done being built in queen creek, and that is one of those zip codes, and im kinda confused, so i need to leave the smog crap on, or do i remove it and claim it as exempt i tried looking it up online but i found a bunch of junk from alaska

Synapsis · 10-15-2007, 12:51 AM

Here's where I got the info from:

mdurbala · 10-15-2007, 12:34 PM

well hell, according to that im not going to be exempt only the people that live WAY out there will be, oh well

90RS305 · 10-17-2007, 01:19 AM

See, I just made sure my mother moved to an emission-exempt area...and registered the maro' there

It wouldn't pass emissions if its life depended on it.

Granted right now it can't even pass the line seperating my garage from the driveway...

There's another option. If you get collector car insurance (Hagerty, Grundy etc.) you can be emission exempt. Just registered my 84 Z that way. Limited use of course, not daily driver, not used for backup or running errands.

Synapsis · 10-19-2007, 07:51 PM

Hagerty will only take cars 20 years old or more. That leaves out 60% of thirdgens. =/ Dunno about the other places.

burnout88 · 10-27-2007, 02:20 AM

Grundy will take cars less then 20 years old. I have had it on 88 for ten years now.

MG66Biscayne when you regristered your 84 what did they ask for? What did you bring with you? A copy of the policy? Did you have to give them a copy?

Z28IROC · 10-27-2007, 01:19 PM

Are you emmision exempt with the Grundy insurance? The Arizona law is very specific about the limitations that the insurance companys have to put on you to qualify. If Grundy qualifies then I will look into them.

burnout88 · 10-28-2007, 01:37 AM

Yes, Grundy policy meets the AZ standards. Grundy will wants pic's of the car through to make sure it is not a beater. I did a complete restore on my car so I had no problems. The policy I have clearly states collector car policy and states I cannot drive the car to work.

Z28IROC · 10-28-2007, 01:43 AM

Great, I will check into Grundy. I would love to not have to mess with emmision testing.
