Normally when the vehicle has turned 20 or more years old it is exempt. To be sure contact your local DMV and ask to be certain. Another way of knowing is to obviously have your address information correct and up to date and the DMV will send a letter telling the registered owner of the vehicle that it is no longer required to bring it in for smog testing.
