New motor vehicle title tax effective March 1:

Effective March 1, House Bill 386 removes the sales tax and the annual ad valorem tax on newly purchased vehicles. It replaces these taxes with a new title tax of 6.5 percent in 2013. The title tax affects both new vehicles purchased from a dealer and sales between individuals.

All other existing annual vehicle registration requirements, including annual tag renewal fees, decals, and emission tests (if applicable), remain in effect for all vehicle owners.

The Tax Assessor's Office is open Monday-Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.  and is located in the Gwinnett Justice and Administration Building, 75 Langley Drive, in Lawrenceville.
