To legally transfer ownership, the seller must sign the back of the Georgia Certificate of Title. A critical requirement in Georgia is that this signature must be notarized to be valid. You can find notary services in Trion at local banks, insurance agencies, or at the authorized third-party MVD office in town.
No. Georgia does not require annual statewide safety inspections. Emissions testing is only required in 13 specific metro Atlanta counties. Trion is in Chattooga County, which does not require emissions or safety inspections. Still, it’s wise to have a trusted mechanic check the car before purchase.
The buyer and seller should fill out a Bill of Sale, preferably using Georgia’s Form T-7. This should include the vehicle’s year, make, model, VIN, sale price, sale date, and printed names and signatures of both parties. This document is required for registration.
You’ll pay the Title Ad Valorem Tax (TAVT), based on the fair market value of the car, along with a title application fee and a license plate registration fee. Paying TAVT covers both sales and annual ad valorem taxes.
In Georgia, the license plate stays with the seller. The seller removes the plate before turning over the vehicle. The buyer has to apply for new plates or transfer existing plates at the county tag office within seven days of purchase.
Bring the signed vehicle title, completed Bill of Sale, your photo ID, proof of insurance, and payment for taxes and fees. These documents are needed to complete registration and titling.
Check the front of the title for any lienholder’s name or use the NMVTIS report. The seller must clear all liens before selling the car, otherwise you might not be able to register it.
