Free Georgia Trailer Bill of Sale

Georgia trailers over 2,000 lbs unladen weight use the same TAVT and Form MV-1 process as cars. Smaller utility trailers register without a title. Trailers ARE included in TAVT (unlike boats), so the 7.0% FMV tax applies.

Georgia Requirements: Transfer title within 30 days. 6.6% sales tax.

Georgia Trailer Sale — Step-by-Step Checklist

  1. Determine unladen weight — titled at 2,001+ lbs.
  2. Complete bill of sale with VIN, type, length, weight, sale price.
  3. Seller signs title over.
  4. Buyer completes Form MV-1 at County Tag Office.
  5. Buyer pays 7.0% TAVT on FMV + title fee.
  6. Under 2,000 lbs: register without titling.

Common Pitfalls

  • Assuming trailers are outside TAVT — they're not (boats are, trailers aren't).
  • Missing the weight threshold rule — determines title vs registration-only.
  • Using sale price for tax estimate — TAVT is on FMV.

Pro Tip

GA trailers follow the car TAVT model for 2,000+ lbs trailers; smaller trailers register only.
