Always look at the original title before you pay the seller. Check that the seller's name exactly matches the name printed on the front of the title. Ask to see their driver's license to confirm their identity. If the title lists a bank or lender, the seller must give you a signed lien release. You cannot register the car in your name without this official release document.

You must visit the Catoosa County Tax Commissioner's office to handle your title and registration. The main office is conveniently located right here in Ringgold. Check the county website for their current operating hours before you make the trip.

Always ask the seller for the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) before you meet up. Run the VIN through a reputable vehicle history report service to check for past accidents, flood damage, or a salvage brand on the title.
