I lived in DC area for 22years. The state inspection to get your tags can be
harsh in MD. They don't like tint, larger wheels, lowered cars. But engine
mods are not inspected. it's a safety inspection.

MD has emissions due every 2 years as previously stated. My Supra was always
too low to go over the
dyno wheels so I always passed without having cats on.

VA on the other hand is like CA !!! NAZI central !!! they have emissions AND
they are real picky on the streets
with loud / fart can exhausts. It just has to LOOK loud
and you get a ticket.

Avoid Fairfax county and surrounding areas.

DC is hell on your car !!! Streets are potholed everywhere !!

I'd go live in Montgomery, Howard, Anne Arundel or Hartford county in MD.
IMHO.
