Golf Carts
Golf cart registration is required to legally operate a golf cart within the city limits. In reference to O.C.G.A. section 40-6-360, a low-speed vehicle may be operated only on streets where posted speed limit is thirty-five miles per hour (35 mph) or less. This does not prohibit a low-speed vehicle from crossing a road or street at an intersection where the road or street has a posted speed limit of more than thirty-five miles per hour (35 mph) Gasoline-powered motorized carts are strictly prohibited.
Golf Cart Registration forms must be completed and an inspection of the golf cart must be performed by an officer. This can be scheduled by calling our PD at 706-820-1051. One of our officers will be more than happy to come to your home or you may bring it up to city hall. The cost of registration is $20 and must be renewed annually by July 31st. Please review City Ordinances 252 and 340 for rules and regulations regarding the operation of golf carts inside City limits.
