VEIP Waiver Information

Senior Citizen Waiver

Senior citizens, 70 years of age or older and whose vehicle is driven less than 5,000 miles per year, can request a waiver for the remainder of the two year test cycle.  Please note:  all vehicle owners must be at least 70 years of age to qualify.  On the back of the inspection notice sent to you, please indicate all owners are over 70 years of age, write the vehicle's current mileage, and send it back to the VEIP Program. 
NOTE: Miles driven for a nonprofit organization can be deducted from your annual mileage with written certification on the organization's letterhead.

Disabled Citizen Waiver

Disabled citizens, with the metal disabled registration plates and whose vehicle is driven less than 5,000 miles per year, can request a waiver for the remainder of the two year test cycle.  Please note:  all vehicle owners must meet the requirements for the disabled registration plates to qualify.  On the back of the registration notice sent to you, please indicate all owners are disabled, write the vehicle's current mileage and send it back to the VEIP Program. 

Repair Waiver

An application for a waiver may be submitted after a vehicle fails the test, undergoes a repair, and fails the test again. The owner(s) must submit original receipts or invoices indicating the minimum repair cost of $450.00 has been spent on emissions related repairs.

The emissions related repair must be made up to 30 days before or 120 days after the first inspection. Federal and state laws do not allow repairs to the exhaust system beyond the catalytic converter to count towards a waiver.
