California -- It depends on the year model of the vehicle. Recent legislation changed the requirements for vehicle transfers occurring on or after January 1, 2005. When you transfer a vehicle that is four or less model years old a smog certification will not be required. The four or less model years old rule does not apply to diesel powered vehicles. A smog transfer fee will be collected from the new owner. When a vehicle is more than four model years old, evidence of a current smog certification must be provided by a seller except when the following occurs:
So if the vehicle is 4 years old or greater the dealership normally pays because they need a Smog Certificate which is the responsibility of the seller.
If your license tag renewal is now due, yes, it must be redone.
the seller is responsible to present the smog test paper while selling the car, the smog test paper is acceptable within the last 90 days.

no its illegal
The dealer has the option to pay for the smog test or to have you pay for it. They are allowed to charge you what it costs them to get it smogged plus $50. If the dealer is paying for the smog test themselves you can expect to have the smogging cost included in the selling price. See reference: http://www.webcarsandtrucks.com/faq.html#who%20pays
