To put the car in your name, the current owner has to sign the back of the Georgia Certificate of Title. You do not need a notary for a standard in-state purchase. Take the endorsed title and your bill of sale to a Cobb County Tax Commissioner's office to finish your registration.
Georgia does not collect traditional sales tax for private car sales. Instead, you will pay the Title Ad Valorem Tax (TAVT). You pay this single tax based on the state's valuation of the car, which has nothing to do with the cash price you actually negotiated.
Along with the one-time TAVT payment, you must cover standard state administrative fees for printing your new title and issuing your annual license plate.
Under state law, license plates belong to the driver rather than the physical car. Make sure the seller removes their tags before handing over the keys. You should never drive your new vehicle with the previous owner's plate still bolted on.
