Tag Transfer

[The Saltman]

I have been in Georgia now for almost 2 years. My wife's car still has NC plates on them and I need to go ahead and get my new Ga tag. They say that you have to transfer it 30 days after you move which I obviously haven't due to a big increase in cost. I was wondering if I go to a tag office to get this done will I get into some serious trouble?

Doubtful. Most people that come from NC and move to SC never remove there tags. Still cops down in GA are dicks so who knows how there DMV worker act like.

Why would you have to pay sales tax on the car? Did you just buy it? Isn't it just a matter of registering it in the state that you now live in or do you have to title it and register it in GA and they make you pay sales tax?

I just bought my dad's truck from NJ and had to pay 3% road use tax when I registered and re-titled it here.

but now that I think about it since we bought the car in 2007 we paid the nc sales tax...I dont think we have to pay sales tax again in ga but I could be wrong.

ya I read it wrong...your right...I just hope they dont go off on me for not changing the tag sooner than I am was supposed to.

[The Saltman]

I do have to title and register it in ga though to get the new tag

That is what I was thinking also. If you were to buy a car in NC right now and brought it to GA you would have to pay the GA sales tax but that is not what you are doing. I could be wrong but that seems logical.

You could tell them you haven't driven it for two years and that it has had no plates.

You also have to pay a SC sales tax since you bought in NC and drove through SC to get to GA. It is also 3% of the sale price. I will send you a PM with the address to send the payment. Don't let the NC address confuse you.

In NC you have 60 days... If anyone asks how long you have lived there just say 2 weeks!
