Vehicle owners must renew their registration and pay the ad valorem tax every year with the Tax Commissioner during the 30 day period which ends on their birthday. If the vehicle is owned by more than one person, then the birthday of the person's name that appears first on the title is used to determine the registration period.

Newly acquired vehicles must be registered within 30 days; the owner would then come back in during the 30 day period which ends on their birthday to pay the ad valorem tax. Effective January 1, 2000, all Cherokee County residents must have an emission test done annually on their vehicle prior to purchasing their tag. New MSO vehicles are exempt from the emission tests for the first three years.

Any new resident registering in Cherokee County must have a current emission before registering vehicles. The emission applies to all vehicles that are 1984 thru 2005, excluding diesels, alternative fuel vehicles, and any vehicle weighing more than 8500 lbs.

Senior Citizens can apply for a waiver of the emission, if they are over 65 years old and the vehicle is 10 years old or older, and driven less than 5,000 miles annually.

Even more emission information is available on the Georgia's Clean Air Force website.
