GOLD STAR TAG: The Georgia Department of Revenue, Motor Vehicle Division will allow The Gold Star Tag (honoring the family members of service members who have been killed in action) to begin issuance. This tag will only be issued to a family member directly related to the fallen member (un-married spouse, legal mother, legal father, sibling, and step-parent).

Sales Tax On Out of State Vehicle Purchases: We are now collecting Sales Tax on out of state vehicle purchases. Beginning January 1, 2006, Georgia Sales Tax must be paid on all vehicles purchased from any business or dealership outside the State of Georgia prior to registration of the vehicle.

Car Insurance - Cancel Tag: Vehicle owners who cancel insurance on a motor vehicle are required to come into the office and cancel the tag. The tag has to be cancelled the same day insurance coverage is cancelled. If the vehicle is later reinsured, the owner must bring a binder from their insurance company and reinstate the tag. Failure to do so will result in fines and/or suspension of registration by the Georgia Department of Revenue.
