***A Valid Georgia driver's license or Georgia Identification card is required as personal identification when you title or register or make other changes to your account. Georgia Department of Revenue Motor Vehicle Division uses the Georgia driver's license number as an account number so that all vehicles owned or leased by an individual can be consolidated in one account.

**An important note to remember when titling a vehicle - motor vehicles are covered under the privacy act in Georgia and no one but the registered owner can process transactions for the vehicle. If the vehicle is in a spouses name you will not be able to process transactions on that vehicle unless you have a limited Power of Attorney.***

Vehicle owners must renew their registration and pay the ad valorem tax (if applicable) every year with the Tax Commissioner during the 90 day period which ends on their birthday. If the vehicle is owned by more than one person, then the birthday of the person's name that appears first on the title is used to determine the registration period.

Newly acquired vehicles must be registered within 7 days, if purchased from an individual; at which time the Title Ad Valorem Tax will be paid. The owner would then come back in during the 60 day period which ends on their birthday to pay the annual tag fee. Effective January 1, 2000, all Cherokee County residents must have an emission test done annually on their vehicle prior to purchasing their tag. New MSO vehicles are exempt from the emission tests for the first three years.

An annual passing GA emissions test is required prior to renewing or registering your vehicle.

Vehicle Insurance

Insurance Requirements Insurance cards are not acceptable proof of insurance coverage for motor vehicle transactions at the Cherokee County Tag Office. Your insurance company is required to electronically transmit proof of insurance directly to the Georgia Department of Revenue (DOR) database.

Acceptable Proof of Insurance When the Georgia registration system does not indicate valid proof of insurance, the following is acceptable:

An original 30-day Insurance binder with an effective date that is less than 30 days. Faxed copies are accepted.
The original declaration page from your existing auto insurance policy, if the vehicle purchase occurred within the last 30 days.
A Georgia Fleet insurance card with the words "Georgia Fleet" on it.
A Self-Insured insurance card and a Certificate of Self Insurance.

Lapse of Insurance, Suspensions and Waivers A lapse in insurance occurs when a vehicle has not carried valid Georgia liability insurance coverage for a period of more than 10 days. Your insurance company reports the lapse to the Georgia Department of Revenue (DOR), and a notice of pending registration suspension is generated and mailed by the DOR. A lapse will result in $25 pending-suspension fee which must be paid within 30 days. If the $25 pending-suspension fee is not paid by the due date, the registration will be suspended by the DOR. To reinstate the registration, the vehicle must have valid Georgia insurance coverage, the $25 pending-suspension fee plus a $60 reinstatement fee must be paid, as well as any other registration fees, ad valorem taxes or penalties due. Any additional lapses in coverage and/or suspensions will result in additional fines and penalties including cancellation of the vehicle's registration. It is advised that you cancel your registration before you cancel your insurance policy to avoid any suspensions or fees. Taxes must be current and there must not be any outstanding fees. The registered owner of the vehicle may apply for a one-time waiver of the pending-suspension and/or the reinstatement fee if certain criteria are met. To apply for this waiver, the registered owner of the vehicle must complete Form MV-18J Application for Voluntary Registration Cancellation. The affidavit can only be submitted if the vehicle has not been driven for one of the following reasons:

It was sold/transferred or the lease was terminated.
It was registered in another state.
It was wrecked, salvaged or junked.
It was repossessed or stolen.
It was not operated because it was inoperable, being stored or used seasonally.
The sole, registered owner of the vehicle was on active military duty stationed outside of Georgia.

The dates entered on the affidavit must match the insurance coverage laspse dates. If you feel you may qualify for a one-time waiver of the pending-suspension and/or the reinstatement fee, the application for Voluntary Registration Cancellation must be filled out in its entirety and can be submitted, along with a copy of your driver's license, via mail to the following address:

Cherokee County Tax Commissioner
2780 Marietta Hwy, Canton, GA 30114

Register a Recently-Purchased Vehicle from a Dealership In most cases when you purchase a vehicle from a dealership, the dealer will submit the necessary documents to apply for your title. The title application must be processed prior to the registration being issued or at the same time the registration is issued. The Dealership will provide you with a printed Temporary Operating Permit, that is valid for 45 days from purchase date.

After the title application has been processed the dealer will send you a copy of the title receipt and you will need to visit a Cherokee County Tag Office to register your vehicle.

If you have not received a copy of the title receipt and it has been at least 25 days since the date of your purchase, contact the dealer to determine the status of your title application.

Note: Under normal circumstances, the information provided below is required to register a vehicle. Other documentation may be required upon review of the paperwork.

Register My Homemade Trailer

A homemade trailer is required to have a serial plate (referred to as a T-Plate) affixed to the trailer before the trailer can be registered and a license plate (tag) issued. Once affixed to the tongue of the trailer, this T-Plate will serve as the VIN for the trailer. There is a $5.00 charge for the T-Plate.

** If you purchase a manufactured trailer that does not have a VIN displayed, please note it does not qualify for a T-Plate. **
Complete the following to register a homemade trailer:

Step 1 - The owner/builder of the trailer needs to visit a Cherokee County Tag Office and bring a valid Georgia driver’s license or Georgia ID card. The T-Plate issued and given to the owner (see Step 2) along with a Form T-23 (Homemade Trailer Affidavit) and a Form T-22C (Permission for County-Assigned Serial Number Plate for a Homemade Trailer). The Form T-23 (Homemade Trailer Affidavit) will be completed in full at the time the T-Plate is issued. The top portion of Form T-22C will be completed at the time the T-Plate is issued. The bottom portion of the T-22C will be completed after the T-Plate has been permanently affixed to the tongue of the trailer. There is a $5.00 charge for the issuance of the T-Plate.
Step 2 - The owner of the trailer must affix the T-Plate to the tongue of the trailer so that it is easily visible. The T-Plate must be permanently affixed using either pop-rivets or screws. (If screws are used, the heads of the screws must be filed down so the T-Plate can not be removed.)
Step 3 - Once the T-Plate is permanently affixed to the tongue of the trailer, the trailer needs to be inspected by a Georgia Law Enforcement Officer. At the time of inspection, the Georgia Law Enforcement Officer will complete the bottom portion of Form T-22C (Permission for County Assigned Serial Number Plate for a Homemade Trailer).
Step 4 - Once the inspection has been completed, the owner of the trailer must return both completed forms (Form T-23 & T-22C) to a Cherokee County Tag office along with a valid Georgia driver’s license or Georgia ID card. A Georgia license plate can then be issued.

Georgia does not issue titles for homemade trailers.

Emissions Testing

For 2024 renewals, 2000 – 2021 year models, excluding diesels, alternative fuel vehicles and any vehicle weighing more than 8500 lbs.

An emission inspection must be completed prior to submitting a vehicle renewal to receive a registration decal. Visit http://www.cleanairforce.com/ for additional emission test information

Where to Go - Newer vehicles can be inspected at any emission inspection station. Look for an inspection station sign that reads "1996 or Newer Vehicles Welcome" or "All Vehicles Welcome." Vehicle models 1995 or older can only be inspected at stations marked "All Vehicles Welcome."
Inspect Early - It's best to get your vehicle inspected four to six weeks before the registration renewal date (the first vehicle owner’s birthday), in the event repairs need to be made. An emission inspection is valid for 12 months or for one registration renewal by the same owner.
Providing Proof of Emission Inspection - The emission inspection station that completes the emission testing is required to electronically submit the test results to the Georgia Department of Revenue motor vehicle database. If the emission information is not in the database electronically, submit the original emission certificate to the tag office.

If the Vehicle Does Not Pass the Emission Test It is the owner’s responsibility to renew the vehicle’s registration by the due date to avoid paying tax and/or tag penalties.

A tag and/or decal cannot be issued if the vehicle did not pass the emission test.

If the vehicle does not pass the emission test, the owner(s) should pay any ad valorem taxes due on the vehicle by the renewal due date to avoid paying a 10 percent ad valorem tax penalty.

Please note that if ad valorem taxes are paid on time, but the tag and/or decal cannot be renewed by the due date because of a failed emission test, the state still assesses a tag penalty of $5.

Georgia’s Clean Air Force recommends having your vehicle inspected four to six weeks prior to the registration renewal date in the event repairs need to be made.

For more information on emission testing, visit http://www.cleanairforce.com/

Senior Emission Waiver (Senior Exemption) Senior Exemptions: If you are age 65 or older and are a registered owner of a vehicle 10 model years old or older, and if you drive less than 5,000 miles per year, you may be eligible for a senior exemption. Click Here for a copy of the Senior Exemption Application.

The Cherokee County Tag office process senior emission waivers (exemptions) for Cherokee residents.

Out-of-Area Extensions If you (or a family member) and your Georgia-registered vehicle are temporarily located outside the 13-county emission testing area of Georgia due to school, military or business obligations, you may qualify for an Out-of-Area Extension.

Visit the Georgia Clean Air Force website for applications and information.

Repair Waivers To apply for a repair waiver, visit a Georgia Clean Air Force Center. Locations of these centers, along with general information and requirements, are available at the Georgia Clean Air Force website.

How Do I Fill Out The Title?

**An important note to remember when titling a vehicle - motor vehicles are covered under the privacy act in Georgia and no one but the registered owner can process transactions for the vehicle. If the vehicle is in a spouse's name you will not be able to process transactions on that vehicle unless you have a limited Power of Attorney from them.***

Title Diagram

Read every title carefully!

Titles from other states will be designed differently, but the information required is often the same.

Erasures and whiteout will void a title. Mistakes may require extra forms to correct what someone wrote incorrectly. If you do not know what to write or do, call us or come in to the office and our clerks can assist you.

Instructions for filling out a title:

Look at the front of the title. Make sure any listed lien holders have filled in box (c).
* If the lien has not been signed off, you will need a lien release from the previous owner's lien holder.
Flip the title over to the back.
Make sure all owners on the front of the title have printed their names and signed on lines (6) and (7).
Print your full legal name (just like it is on your driver's license) on line (1).
* If you have changed your name, you will need a court document showing that change (i.e. marriage certificate, divorce decree etc.)
Print your current residential address on lines (2) and (3).
* If you have a different mailing address, you will write that on the title application.
Write the date you purchased the vehicle on line (4).
* If you make a mistake, any correction adds a $10.00 penalty.
Write the current mileage on line (5).
* If you make a mistake, STOP. We have an affidavit to correct the problem, do not mark through the mileage.
Print your full legal name on line (8).
Sign your name on line (9).
If you make payments on the vehicle, write the name and address of the person/company to whom you are sending your payments on line (10) and (11).

** Please note that the highlighted section that states Dealerships only, should not have an individuals name in this section. If someone is selling you a vehicle, they can not put your name in that section to transfer ownership. They will have to get the title processed into their name first. **

Return Check Policy (TAGS)

Note: Once a return check has been received, all future payments will be required to be paid with cash or certified funds.
Your tag will be seized if your check is returned. Your tag will be cancelled and seized immediately with no prior notice. You will be charged a $20.00 tag fee for the purchase of a new tag in addition to the $30.00 or 5 percent of the face amount of the check, whichever is greater for the returned check fee.

If the restitution on the return check is not paid by the time allotted it will be turned over to The Magistrate’s Office for the issuance of a warrant.
