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 Lanier County Tax Commissioner’s Office, located right here in Lakeland, to process the transfer and put the car in your name.
Yes. While the signed title acts as the primary ownership document, Georgia strongly recommends using a Bill of Sale (Form T-7). It serves as your official receipt and establishes the exact date of purchase. You need this specific date to calculate your seven-day grace period for registration. The document should include the VIN, vehicle details, sale price, date, and signatures of both parties.
No, you do not pay a traditional sales tax. Instead, Georgia uses a Title Ad Valorem Tax (TAVT). You pay this one-time tax when you title and register the vehicle at the county tag office.
Always prioritize your safety by meeting in a public, well-lit area during the day. Excellent options in Lakeland include:
1. The parking lot of the Lakeland Police Department or the Lanier County Sheriff's Office.
2. A busy, visible shopping center parking lot along US Highway 129 or State Route 122.
3. The parking area of a local bank during regular business hours.
Before handing over any money, ask to see the seller’s government-issued ID and ensure it matches the name printed on the title. Critically, verify that the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on the paper title perfectly matches the VIN stamped on the car’s dashboard and the driver-side door jamb.
