Golf Cart Registration Starts Jan. 1 In Woodstock

WOODSTOCK, GA — Owners who wish to use their modified golf carts and personal transportation vehicles on certain public roadways in Woodstock will soon have to register those devices with the city.

Starting Jan. 1, 2019, owners of these vehicles will have to register them with the Woodstock Community Development Department. In September, the City Council passed an ordinance to allow these carts and PTVs to operate on streets with posted speed limits of 25 mph or less. The ordinance goes into effect March 1, 2019.

Registered vehicles will receive a decal with a registration number assigned to the PTV that must be affixed to the rear fender directly behind the driver. Only vehicles operating on private property are exempt from this ordinance.

You can register your vehicles from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday starting Jan. 1 at the Woodstock City Annex. Registration will take place at the Development Services Office, which is located on the first floor at the annex at 12453 Highway 92. Failure to register PTVs will be punishable by fine not to exceed $1,000.

Please have make, model, color, serial number, photo of the PTV and insurance documentation ready when registering. Call 770 592-6036 or contact dcarruthers@woodstockga.gov for more information.
