Title, tag and tax for Cherokee County buyers

A vehicle bought here is titled and registered where you live, not in Floyd County. For Ball Ground that means Cherokee County, through the Cherokee County Tax Commissioner in Canton.

The tax side is Georgia's title ad valorem tax, charged once, at titling. It replaced the annual ad valorem bill that used to come around every year on newer purchases. The Department of Revenue publishes the current figure and the calculation, and that page is the one to work from, not our arithmetic.

We handle our part of the paperwork, and you register at home in Cherokee County. The state routes the title application and the tax through the buyer's county, meaning Cherokee County on a Ball Ground sale rather than Floyd.

The Cherokee County emissions question

Cherokee County is one of the 13 Georgia counties covered by the state's emissions inspection program. Whether a given vehicle needs a test follows where it will be registered, not where you buy it, so buying in Rome does not change what Cherokee County asks of you.

Some vehicles are exempt and the rules move over time, so check the program's official site before you register. The lot sits in Floyd County, which the program does not cover, and that has no bearing on what Cherokee County asks of a Ball Ground buyer.

Worth knowing before the drive

Clean title, no reported frame damage, and a history report on most: that holds for every vehicle here. It is the part of a used car you cannot judge from a listing photo, which counts for more the farther you come. What a branded title costs you ›

Questions from Ball Ground buyers

How far is Cochran Motor Company from Ball Ground?

Around 45 miles. Ball Ground lies east of the lot at 1023 N Broad St in Rome, Georgia. One address, and everything is shown to you there.

I live in Cherokee County. Does a used vehicle from Rome need an emissions test?

Cherokee County is inside the program, and the test follows your registration address in Ball Ground, not our address in Rome. Exemptions exist and they change, so check the program's own page for the vehicle you are looking at.

Can you do the title and tag paperwork for a Ball Ground buyer?

Yes. Georgia has the title application and the title ad valorem tax go to the county where you live, so a Ball Ground purchase is titled in Cherokee County, through the Cherokee County Tax Commissioner in Canton. We handle our side of the paperwork here in Rome.

How long does it take to drive up from Ball Ground?

Figure about 80 minutes, mainly along US 411. A call to (706) 237-7207 first means we have it pulled up rather than ten minutes away.

Will you keep one back for me until I get there?

Yes. Call (706) 237-7207 and we will hold it and have it pulled up front. Stock turns over weekly, so from Ball Ground that is worth doing rather than taking the chance.
