IAAI Car Total Cost in Georgia (2026)

IAAI in Georgia: four hammer prices

Georgia tax is applied to the hammer price, used as a stand-in for the value the state actually taxes. No storage days are assumed.

What the IAAI side of a Georgia bill is made of

IAAI's side of the Georgia bill is a tiered buyer fee, an internet bid fee, a $105 service fee (Copart's equivalent is a gate fee), a $15 environmental fee and a $20 title fee: $884 at a $7,500 hammer.

These Georgia totals use IAAI's Standard (non-Public) registration schedule. IAAI has no Premier tier like Copart's; Public Auto Auction registration is the broad-access option, and some licensed dealers get discounted dealer fees. Full tier tables are in the IAAI fee calculator.

Georgia tax and title on a IAAI buy

Georgia replaced sales tax with a one-time Title Ad Valorem Tax (TAVT) of 7% on the fair market value. No local additions. No trade-in credit (TAVT is on full FMV).

• Rate applied to a IAAI hammer: 7% TAVT on fair market value (hammer used as the value here).
• No local add-on stacks on the Georgia rate in our data, so the IAAI table needs no extra column.
