Yes. Because Sandy Springs is located within Fulton County, you must provide a current, passing Georgia emissions certificate to register most gas-powered vehicles. Make sure the seller hands this over before you finalize the deal.
To legally put the car in your name, the current owner needs to sign the back of the Georgia title. You do not need to find a notary for a standard in-state purchase. Take the signed document and your bill of sale directly to a Fulton County tag office to complete the process.
Yes. We strongly advise both parties to fill out a Georgia Form T-7 Bill of Sale. This paper protects you from future arguments over the condition or cost of the vehicle. The Fulton County tax office also requires it to properly process your title application.
Georgia does not collect a standard sales tax on private vehicle transactions. Instead, you will pay the Title Ad Valorem Tax (TAVT). The state bases this one-time charge on the assessed fair market value of the car, completely ignoring the cash amount you actually paid.
Beyond the one-time TAVT payment, you must cover the regular state fees for updating the title and your annual license plate registration when you visit the Fulton County tag office.
Georgia law dictates that license plates remain with the original owner. The person selling the car must take off their tags before giving you the keys. You should never drive a newly bought car with the previous owner's license plate attached.
The state grants you a seven-day grace period to drive the car and complete your registration. This clock starts on the exact date written on your bill of sale. Your properly signed title and bill of sale act as your legal proof of ownership. Georgia tag offices do not hand out temporary transit plates for private sales.
