Yes. Lilburn is located in Gwinnett County, which falls inside Georgia's mandatory 13-county vehicle emissions testing zone. If you are buying a gasoline-powered car or light-duty truck that is between 3 and 24 years old, the seller must provide a valid, passing emissions certificate before the sale. You need this passing test on record to register the vehicle at the tag office.
To legally transfer ownership, the seller must sign and date the "Seller" section on the back of the original Georgia Certificate of Title. You do not need a notary signature for a standard transfer in Georgia. You will take this signed document to a Gwinnett County Tax Commissioner's office to finish the process.
Yes. When looking at private cars for sale, we strongly advise using the official Georgia Department of Revenue Form T-7 (Bill of Sale). Local tag offices often require it to process your registration. This form acts as your official receipt, establishes the exact transaction date, and protects both you and the seller. It must include the VIN, vehicle details, sale price, date, and signatures from both parties.
You do not pay standard sales tax on private party cars in Georgia. Instead, the state applies the Title Ad Valorem Tax (TAVT) to these sales. You must pay this one-time tax when you apply for the title and license plate at the county tag office.
You are responsible for the TAVT. The state figures this tax based on the fair market value of the vehicle, not your agreed purchase price. Along with the TAVT, you will pay a standard title transfer fee of $18 and a license plate registration fee of $20.
In Georgia, the license plate stays with the seller. The state registers plates to an individual, not the vehicle. The seller must remove their plate before giving you the keys. Never drive the car with the seller's tags still attached.
