Augusta Bill of Sale — FAQs

Where do I transfer a vehicle title in Augusta, Georgia?

The Richmond County Tag Office at 535 Telfair St, Augusta handles all title transfers. A south Augusta branch at 1815 Marvin Griffin Rd is also available. Bring the signed title, the bill of sale if you have one, GA proof of insurance, valid ID, and payment for the 7% TAVT.

Does Augusta require an emissions inspection?

No. Richmond County is not part of Georgia's metro Atlanta emissions testing program. Augusta vehicle registrations do not require an emissions test.

How do I calculate TAVT on a car I'm buying in Augusta?

TAVT is 7% of the state's determined fair market value for the vehicle, which you can look up using the Georgia DOR TAVT calculator at dor.georgia.gov. The state's value may differ from the negotiated price — if you buy at a discount, TAVT is still based on the state FMV, not your lower purchase price.
