Technically ozone is formed at all altitudes by air pollutants such as hydrocarbons reacting by exposure to sunlight. The most concentrated altitude at which ozone is formed at (most commonly known as the ozone layer which is in the stratosphere) starts at about 10km above sea level and goes to about 50km above sea level (in imperial that's about 6 and 31 miles).

Does the ozone layer contribute smog at a low altitude?

No, the ozone layer is located in the stratosphere, which is above the troposphere where smog occurs. The ozone layer actually helps protect the Earth's surface from harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun. Smog is formed by a reaction between pollutants in the lower atmosphere.
