Those who are new to Oregon may have questions about DEQ's Vehicle Inspection Program. Vehicles registered in the Portland Metro and Medford/Ashland area are required to pass an emissions test in order to register a vehicle. Then, the vehicle must be tested again every two years before the registration can be renewed.

Vehicle Testing Fee: The DEQ testing fees are the same as those charged by Clean Air Stations, $25 in the Portland Area, and $20 in the Medford area. This fee is due only after your vehicle receives a passing test result, and is issued a Certificate of Compliance. There is no charge if your vehicle fails.
