AUTOMOBILE REGISTRATION

 312 Nichols St.,

Blackshear, GA 31516.

Office hours are 9:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Monday – Friday.

Renewals – Georgia law requires that all auto tags be renewed within 30 days before the owner’s birthday. Tags expire at midnight on the birthday of the first person listed on the registration as owner. Renewals after this date will be subject to a 10% penalty on the ad valorem tax, 25% penalty on the tag fee. Georgia law requires collection of penalties and interest on ALL late registrations.

All residents who have obtained Georgia license plates during the current year should receive a renewal prebill the following year to renew the tag and pay the ad valorem taxes. If you do not receive your renewal by 30 days prior to your birthday, call 449-2026 and a prebill will be mailed to you, or if you come into the office one can be printed there for you. For fast, convenient service, mail your tag renewal and application.
