Is there a state limit in Georgia for doc fee when buying used car?

In Georgia, there is a state limit on the documentary fee that can be charged when buying a used car. The maximum fee that a dealer can charge is $50. This fee is charged to cover the costs of preparing and processing the paperwork associated with the sale of a used car. The fee is paid by the buyer of the car.

In addition to the documentary fee, the buyer of a used car in Georgia may also be responsible for paying a title fee, a tag fee, and a sales tax. The title fee is a one-time fee that is paid to the Georgia Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) when the car is titled in the buyer's name. The tag fee is an annual fee that is paid to the DMV for the license plate for the car. The sales tax is a percentage of the purchase price of the car that is paid to the Georgia Department of Revenue.
