I'm in a dilemma, as my new fifth wheel trailer is kept 300 miles away in the North Georgia mountains. I cannot title it in Georgia because I no longer have a Georgia driver's license.
My Alabama license branch wants to inspect the serial number before issuing a title. Can you imagine trying to take a 37' trailer through their parking lot? An Alabama peace officer can inspect the trailer, but it'll never physically be in Alabama. Catch 22!
Alabama's a great place for sales taxes on autos/boats/RV's @ 2%. But they do have ad valorem taxes on autos and RV's. No way out of it.
In Georgia, I'd suggest you check with your county's tag office on the high ad valorem tax. You might check the NADA posted price before you go to the county.
Paying the GA 6.75% tax on front end would be the way to do on some RV's, but it doesn't apply to both motorized Class A's/B's/C's and travel trailers/fifth wheels. I don't remember which units are able to be taxed this way. Laws online are a little unclear, too.
