RICHMOND COUNTY
The Richmond County Sheriff's Office lists three spots where people can meet to exchange internet purchases: the Old Law Enforcement Center parking lots (401 Walton Way), the Charles B. Webster Detention Center (1941 Phinizy Road) and Marshal's Office space at the Municipal Building (535 Telfair Street). The spaces are not directly supervised but are under surveillance.
Official source ↗Richmond County is not one of the 13 Georgia counties that require emissions testing, so no emissions test affects a private sale here.
Official source ↗Agree on an independent inspection, verify payment with your bank before signing anything, and keep your home address out of photos and messages.
Plan a safe sale ↗START WITH THREE DETAILS
Start with your year, make and model. We’ll carry these details into your listing after you create an account or sign in.
Save a draft and finish when you’re ready. Free publication, photos, messages and offers. See features & pricing.
GEORGIA PAPERWORK
Complete the seller section on the back of the Georgia title before you hand it over. Print and sign your name (every joint owner must sign), enter the buyer's full legal name and address, the sale date and the odometer reading in whole miles. Use blue or black ink, because alterations can void the title. Never give the buyer a title you signed with the buyer's name left blank: Georgia treats that as a misdemeanor. You must already hold the title in your own name. No notary is mentioned for a Georgia title assignment.
Official source ↗In Georgia the plate stays with the owner, not the car. Remove your plate and tags before the buyer drives away. You can keep it, move it to another vehicle, or surrender it to the Department of Revenue for cancellation (Form T-158 reports or surrenders a plate).
Official source ↗Georgia has no separate seller's notice of sale. Instead, cancel your registration after the sale, online through DRIVES e-Services or in person at your county tag office with Form MV-18J (Application for Voluntary Registration Cancellation). The state page lists no deadline. Cancel your insurance only after the registration is cancelled, to avoid fines for an uninsured registered vehicle.
Official source ↗Official sources checked October 30, 2026. This is a planning guide for an ordinary private sale, not legal advice or an official form. Follow the current instructions from the Georgia Department of Revenue for your vehicle, especially for lost titles, several owners, out-of-state buyers or a car that is not fully paid off.
