To legally transfer ownership, the seller must sign the back of the original Georgia Certificate of Title. All owners listed on the front must sign as sellers. Once you have the signed document, take the title to the Bartow County Tax Commissioner’s Office, located a short drive away in Cartersville, to process the transfer and put the car in your name.
You are responsible for paying the TAVT, which the state calculates based on the vehicle's fair market value, rather than your actual purchase price. You will also pay a standard $18 title application fee and a $20 license plate registration fee.
In Georgia, the license plate stays with the seller. Plates are registered to an individual, not the vehicle. The seller must remove their plate before handing over the keys. Never drive the car using the seller's license plate.
Georgia gives buyers a strict seven-day grace period to drive a newly purchased vehicle without a license plate. To drive legally during this window, you must carry the fully signed, dated Bill of Sale and the signed-over title in the car with you. This paperwork proves to law enforcement that you just bought the vehicle.
Always prioritize your safety by meeting in a public, well-lit area during the day. Excellent options in Adairsville include:
1. The parking lot of the Adairsville Police Department on Public Square.
2. A busy, visible shopping center parking lot near the Interstate 75 and State Route 140 interchange.
3. The parking area of a local bank during regular business hours.
