We couldn't confirm what the Georgia Department of Revenue accepts as a bill of sale. If that matters for your sale, confirm it with the Georgia Department of Revenue.
We could not confirm in a Georgia government source whether a bill of sale is required to transfer a vehicle title, or whether it has to be notarized. That does not mean the answer is no.
Last checked against the sources below on September 20, 2026. Rules can change, so confirm with the Georgia Department of Revenue before you file.

What's different in Georgia
Georgia gives the buyer a short window. The Department of Revenue puts the responsibility to title and register the vehicle within 7 days of the purchase date on the buyer, and both jobs happen at the buyer's County Tag Office. The title fee is $18, and the department's list of what is due also names the $20 license plate fee, any penalties due and Title Ad Valorem Tax. The tax is not a sales tax. Georgia charges Title Ad Valorem Tax instead, currently 7.0% of the vehicle's fair market value. TAVT is a one-time tax paid at the moment the vehicle is titled, and it replaced the sales tax that vehicle purchases used to carry. The Department of Revenue's page on selling a car lists the vehicle's license plates/tags under “Remember to keep”
, and says they do not transfer with the vehicle to the new owner.
Georgia publishes a bill of sale of its own, Form T-7, linked in the forms section above. The Department of Revenue's page on the responsibilities of sellers and buyers carries the odometer rule: where odometer disclosure is required, the reading has to increase throughout the chain of ownership, and the buyer acknowledges the odometer declaration by printing and signing their name. A blank vehicle bill of sale is on this page as well.
