Smog Free Clark County

The SFCC Program, implemented by Clark County, provides financial assistance for emissions-related vehicle repairs. The goal is to improve air quality by reducing harmful vehicle emissions.

If your vehicle fails a Smog Check, you may be eligible for assistance toward emissions-related repairs at a licensed 2G test-and-repair station.

  • Vehicles from model years 1968–2006 may receive up to $975 in repair assistance.

These are repairs that address the causes of a Smog Check failure and help reduce emissions.

    • Reside in a Clark County ZIP code where a smog test is required.
