The DOR has Increased Fees – Effective January 1, 2017

TOPs Fees
Beginning January 1, 2017, the Georgia Department of Revenue (GA DOR), will be increasing fees to purchase and print Temporary Operating Permits (TOPs).

Accordingly, effective January 1, the price of TOPs will increase from $3 per blank to $4 per blank (example: an order of 50 will be $200 + tax & shipping), and the fee to process/print a TOP using the GIADA TOPs system will increase from $3 per transaction to $4 per transaction. 

Related to TOPs, dealers are reminded of the following:

• Dealers may NOT charge customers for TOPs. See additional information.
• Dealers may NOT issue a second TOP to a customer. Extension of TOPs must be obtained from the customer’s county tag office.
• Dealers are authorized to print TOPs at the address associated with the master dealer number. TOPs may not be printed at an unlicensed location.
• Blank TOPs must be maintained in a secure location.
