To legally transfer ownership, the seller must sign the back of the original Georgia Certificate of Title. Every owner listed on the front must sign as a seller. Bring your properly signed title to the Cherokee County Tax Commissioner’s Office in Canton to complete the transfer and put the car in your name.
You will be responsible for paying standard title and registration fees, plus the TAVT, when you put the car in your name. The state calculates the TAVT based on the fair market value of the vehicle determined by the Department of Revenue, not the cash amount you handed the seller.
Yes. Canton is located in Cherokee County, which operates within Georgia's 13-county mandatory vehicle emissions control area. You must have a passing Georgia emissions inspection on file before you can register the vehicle in your name, unless the car qualifies for an age-based exemption.
In Georgia, the license plate stays with the seller. Plates are registered to an individual, not the vehicle. The seller must remove their plate by state law before you take possession of the car. Do not drive the car with the seller's plates still attached.
A lien means a bank or lender still has a financial claim on the vehicle. Look at the front of the Georgia title to find any active lienholders. If you see a lender listed, the seller must provide you with an official paper lien release document from that bank before you can get a clear title in your name.
