Title and tag from Catoosa County

You register where you live, so a Fort Oglethorpe purchase from us ends up at the Catoosa County Tax Commissioner in Ringgold for its Catoosa County title and tag.

The tax side is Georgia's title ad valorem tax, charged once, at titling. On purchases since it came in, it stands in for the old annual ad valorem bill. 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 Catoosa County. Georgia has the selling dealer send the title application and the tax to the county where the buyer lives, which for a Fort Oglethorpe buyer is Catoosa County.
