Title, tag and tax for Catoosa County buyers

Title and registration run through your own county. Ringgold buyers handle that at the Catoosa County Tax Commissioner in Ringgold, the same as any other Catoosa County purchase.

Georgia charges a one-time title ad valorem tax when the vehicle is titled. It replaced the annual ad valorem bill that used to come around every year on newer purchases. Read the current figure off the Department of Revenue's page rather than any estimate, ours included, since it is theirs to change.

We provide the title paperwork, and Catoosa County handles the tag. The state routes the title application and the tax through the buyer's county, meaning Catoosa County on a Ringgold sale rather than Floyd.

The Catoosa County emissions question

Georgia runs its emissions inspection program in 13 counties, and Catoosa County is not one of the 13 Georgia counties covered.

The county list lives on the program's official site, and it is the one to read rather than any second-hand version of it. Floyd County, where the lot sits, is outside the program too, so nothing about the 45 mile drive changes the answer.

Worth knowing before the drive

Every vehicle we stock carries a clean title with no reported frame damage, and a history report is available on most. That matters more the further you travel, because it is the part you cannot check from a photograph. What a branded title costs you ›

Questions from Ringgold buyers

How far is Cochran Motor Company from Ringgold?

Roughly 45 miles. The lot is at 1023 N Broad St in Rome, with Ringgold north of it, and it is the only place we sell from.

Does a Ringgold registration involve an emissions test?

No. Catoosa County sits outside Georgia's inspection program, so there is no emissions test to pass when you register there, and buying 45 miles away in Rome does not change that.

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

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

How long does it take to drive up from Ringgold?

About 75 minutes by car, most of it on I 75, give or take traffic. Call (706) 237-7207 first and the vehicle will be out front when you arrive.

Can you hold something while I drive up from Ringgold?

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