Anyone using GA as a domicile or residence??
As stated in the subject line. We are contemplating using GA as we have family living there. Any Pro's or Cons? Thanks.

Veterans don't pay to register their vehicles? Thast must be something within the last 15 years. We are originally from Augusta, Georgia. Lived there nearly 20 years of my life and have always had to pay to register my car and pay the advolorem taxes on it. Can't remember about the drivers license thing.
Our son joined the Navy from GA 20 years ago. He got a Free DL or 10 years or s, but couldn't get a Free Tag. It was because he didn't serve in a War Zone. They sent him to Camp David instead of Bosnia. But DH was in VietNam, so he qualified.
I think it was 2012 when they replaced the annual ad valorem with the onetime fees on vehicles. It gradually increased to what it is now. 7.??. You pay it when you buy vehicle or like us when we move into the state. It's just like the sales tax - one time and done.
And to others as for continuing to pay ad valorem forever, check with your County Tag office. They will see if you've paid in enough and take that off your vehicle for the next renewal. Then all you have is a $12+ tag fee.
Doesn't work that way on Trailers though. Not sure about Motorhomes.
