If you’re planning to buy a car from a private owner or anyone other than a registered dealer, you should take note of the new laws on tag requirements for 2011. Starting on Jan. 1, car owners must now apply for a tag and registration in their county tag office within seven days of the date of purchase. Previously, owners had up to 30 days to apply for the tag and registration.
