Georgia trailer move

Move a Trailer to Georgia

Use the trailer's weight, construction, and prior ownership record to choose Georgia's title, registration, serial-plate, and tax path.

Use this order

Prepare the trailer before the office visit

The government instructions are free. We show a private provider only when it is authorized for this vehicle and task.

  1. 1. Check when the application becomes due

    Register the trailer within 30 days after moving to Georgia and apply at the County Tag Office. The trailer is a separate record from its tow vehicle.

  2. 2. Prepare the correct ownership record

    Georgia does not issue a motor-vehicle title for a boat trailer, homemade trailer, fifth wheel, pole trailer, or trailer weighing 2,000 pounds or less. Use the applicable out-of-state ownership record for a trailer that does require a title.

  3. 3. Complete identification and inspection

    A homemade trailer needs a county-assigned serial plate before registration. Submit Form T-23, rivet the plate to the trailer, and have a Georgia law-enforcement officer certify the installation on Form T-22C.

  4. 4. Register the correct vehicle class

    A no-title trailer still needs the registration documents the County Tag Office requires. Non-titled vehicles and trailers are exempt from title ad valorem tax but remain subject to annual ad valorem tax.

Vehicle classification

Check the exact vehicle class

A boat and its highway trailer use separate agencies and identifiers. Georgia DNR handles the vessel, while the County Tag Office handles the trailer.

Open the primary Georgia source before completing a form or paying a fee. The official agency decides which forms and checks apply to the specific vehicle.
