FYI
I just found out that if you are running one of the Georgia Antique Car "hobby" license plates on your car, the State is charging an additional tax of $35 per year. The ad valorem on one of my cars is only $22 per year, so it is not worth paying an additional $35 per year for one of these ugly plates. If you are running a year of manufacture plate (real antique tag), the $35 per year fee does not apply.

A big surprise to me. I noticed my tag jumped from $22.69 to $57.69 for my VW tags. Steve was it easy to register YOM plates for your car? The people at the DeKalb tag office will probably give me a big hassle when I show up with 6 old 60's license plates in hand wanting to use them on my cars Laughing

There is a form for YOM plates on the Georgia DMV website. Just download & print a copy & fill it out. Take it, your current registration & your tag to your county tag office & they will mate that tag number to your registration. Remember to carry your "official" GA tag somewhere in your vehicle in case you are stopped by the law

When we registered my Sons bug I was going to get the antique tag but when i found out that it was now an extra cost I passed.... Goverment at work.... They figured they could increase reveniew by charging more for the tags and figured $35 would be a price people would pay.... Wrong. I would have popped for maybe $10 or even $15 but now they want be getting anything from me. I'll be dropping the Jeeps come march. Not worth the cost to me.

Here's the link:
http://motor.etax.dor.ga.gov/forms/motor.aspx

Click on Forms and Manuals. There's also a Bill of Sale form on
there, that can come in handy.

Note: they don't charge you extra for running YOM plates.
