Default Smog testing in Florida

Have a highly modded Vert and the thinking about possibly moving to Florida. Do they have emissions testing in Florida. From my research I would say NO, but need your input. Thanks for all your help. Cheers

In the past we have had vehicle inspections and in some areas around major population centers there was emissions testing. Currently, though, there are no inspections of any type. Hopefully, that won't change. BTW, current temp is 74.

Yeah, but I like the idea of storing our "cat" for the winter! The PITA walks all over the cars in the garage anyway!

Between the Atlantic ocean breeze and the Gulf breeze, our air hardly ever becomes stagnant. In the summer time it makes for some very interesting thunderstorms.

We have probably the cleanest air around.
