Georgia car sale requirements

Georgia does not have a state-mandated bill of sale form for vehicle transfers, though the Georgia DOR provides guidance on required documentation. A detailed bill of sale is highly recommended for private sales in Georgia. The buyer must title the vehicle with the Georgia DOR within 30 days and obtain a Georgia title. Georgia requires an annual vehicle ad valorem tax (TAVT) based on the fair market value or the bill of sale price, whichever is higher. This makes an accurate bill of sale crucial for proper TAVT calculation.
