Georgia golf cart laws explained — O.C.G.A. 40-6-331 lets local authorities designate PTV streets and paths, requires a license, plus LSV rules for road use.
Only where a local authority has designated the streets or paths for them. Georgia treats a street-driven golf cart as a Personal Transportation Vehicle (PTV), and O.C.G.A. § 40-6-331 lets a local authority designate certain public streets or PTV paths for combined use with regular traffic. Every PTV operator must have a valid driver's license, and the local ordinance sets the operating standards. Related: Golf carts in Georgia
Not with the state. Under O.C.G.A. § 40-6-331, a local authority may not require PTVs to meet general-law registration, inspection, title, or licensing rules — though it may require local registration and licensing at least once every five years for a fee not to exceed $15. Cities like Peachtree City use this authority to manage their extensive cart-path networks. Related: Shop street-legal golf carts
A Low-Speed Vehicle in Georgia is a four-wheeled vehicle built to FMVSS 500 (49 CFR 571.500) with a top speed of 20–25 mph, titled and tagged through the Georgia Department of Revenue, and allowed on streets posted 35 mph or less. Unlike a locally designated PTV, an LSV is road-legal statewide. Factory-certified models like the DENAGO CITY qualify; TIGON delivers across Georgia, call 1-844-844-6638.
