Yes. Ball Ground is located in Cherokee County, which is one of the 13 counties in Georgia that require mandatory emissions testing. Before you can register the car in your name, the vehicle must have a passing Georgia emissions inspection on file. The test must have been completed within the last 12 months.
The seller must sign the back of the original Georgia Certificate of Title to transfer ownership. Every owner listed on the front must sign as a seller. Once you have the signed title, take it to the Cherokee County Tag Office. The closest office to Ball Ground is located in neighboring Canton. They will process the paperwork and put the car in your name.
Yes. Georgia strongly suggests using a Bill of Sale (Form T-7), even though the signed title is your main ownership paper. The Bill of Sale acts as your official receipt. It also proves the exact date you bought the car. You need this date to figure out your strict seven-day grace period for registration. Make sure the document includes the VIN, car details, price, date, and signatures from you and the seller.
No, you do not pay a standard sales tax. Georgia uses a Title Ad Valorem Tax (TAVT) instead. You pay this single tax when you title and register the car at your county tag office.
You will pay standard title and registration fees, along with the TAVT, when you put the car in your name. The state bases the TAVT on the fair market value of the car, not the price you paid the seller. You pay this tax only once.
In Georgia, the license plate stays with the seller. The state registers plates to people, not to cars. The seller must take off their plate before they give you the keys. You should never drive the car with the seller's license plate still on it.
