You and the seller must complete the title assignment section on the back of the original title. You need to write your full legal name, your current address, the exact date of sale, and the current odometer reading. Both of you must print and sign your names.
Look at the front of the title for any listed security interests or lienholders. If the previous owner still owes money on the car, you cannot register it. The seller must have these liens officially released in the designated spaces on the title before you buy the vehicle.
You do not pay a traditional sales tax to the seller. Instead, Georgia uses the Title Ad Valorem Tax. This is a one-time tax assessed when you transfer the title into your name at the tag office.
The state calculates the Title Ad Valorem Tax based on the fair market value of the car, not the actual price you paid the seller. You can use the Georgia Department of Revenue's online calculator to estimate this exact cost before you buy.
In addition to the tax, you will pay a few basic administrative costs. The state charges an $18 fee to process your new title application. You will also pay a $20 fee to get your new license plate.
Georgia law gives you exactly seven days from the purchase date to complete your title application, register the car, and pay all required taxes and fees. If you miss this strict deadline, the state will charge you late penalties.
