Item 3.  Incorporation of Documents by Reference.

The following documents filed or to be filed with the Commission are
incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement:

     (a)  The Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
          December 31, 1995, which includes the consolidated statements of
          financial condition of the Company at December 31, 1995 and 1994, and

     (b)  All reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d)
          of the Exchange Act since December 31, 1995.

     (c)  The description of the Common Stock as contained in the Registrant's

          filed with the Commission on December 23, 1996.

     (d)  All documents filed by the Company pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c),
          14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act after the date hereof and prior to
          the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all
          securities offered hereby have been sold or which deregisters all
          securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated
          by reference in the Registration Statement and to be a part thereof
          from the date of filing of such document. Any statement made in a
          document incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be
          modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to
          the extent that such statement is replaced or modified by a statement
          contained in a subsequently dated document incorporated by reference
          or contained in this Registration Statement. Any such statement so
          modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or
          superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.

Item 4.  Description of Securities.

Not applicable.

Item 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

None.  Neither the named experts or counsel referenced below have an interest in
the Registrant.

Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

                                       2
<PAGE>
 
     Section 607.0850 of the Florida Business Corporation Act ("FBCA") provides
that a corporation may indemnify a director or officer of the corporation and
purchase and maintain liability insurance for those persons as, and to the
extent, permitted by Section 607.0850 of the FBCA.  In addition, the
Registrant's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation obligate the
Registrant to indemnify its officers and directors for costs and expenses
actually and reasonably incurred in connection with a legal proceeding,
including amounts paid in settlement of such a proceeding, to the fullest extent
permitted by the FBCA.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the
Registrant, the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act of 1933 and is therefore unenforceable.

Item 7.  Exemption from Registration Claimed.

Not applicable.

Item 8.  Exhibits.

5.     Opinion of Gunster, Yoakley, Valdes-Fauli & Stewart, P.A. regarding the
       legality of the securities being offered hereby.

10.    1996 Director Stock Purchase Plan

23.1   Consent of Arthur Andersen LLP

23.2   Consent of Hacker, Johnson, Cohen & Grieb

23.3   Consent of Gunster, Yoakley, Valdes-Fauli & Stewart, P.A. (contained in
       Exhibit 5).

Item 9.  Undertakings.

The undersigned hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post
effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

     (i)   To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;

     (ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective
amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a
fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement;

     (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the registration  statement or any
material change to such information in the registration statement;

     Provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to
Section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.

(2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act
of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

(3)  To remove from registration by means of a post effective amendment any of
the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
Plan.

(4)  That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of
1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by
reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new Registration
Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.

                                       3
<PAGE>
 
(5) To deliver or cause to be delivered with the prospectus, to each person to
whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest annual report to security
holders that is incorporated by reference in the prospectus and furnished
pursuant to and meeting the requirements of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14c-3 under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and, where interim financial information
required to be presented by Article 3 of Regulation S-X are not set forth in the
prospectus, to deliver, or cause to be delivered to each person to whom  the
prospectus is sent or given, the latest quarterly report that is specifically
incorporated by reference in the prospectus to provide such interim financial
information.

    Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.

     Re:   Capital City Bank Group, Inc.
           1996 Director Stock Purchase Plan
           Registration Statement on Form S-8,
           50,000 Shares of Common Stock

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     We have acted as legal counsel for Capital City Bank Group, Inc. (the
"Company"), a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Florida, with
respect to the Company's Form S-8 Registration Statement (the "Registration
Statement") to be filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on or about December 23, 1996 in connection with the registration
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by the Company of an aggregate of
up to 50,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common
Stock"), issuable upon issuance of stock under the Capital City Bank Group, Inc.
1996 Director Stock Purchase Plan, effective as of February 23, 1996 (the
"Plan").

     As legal counsel for the Company, we have examined the corporate
proceedings relating to the Plan and such other legal matters as we deemed
appropriate for the purposes of rendering this opinion.

     We have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as
originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us
as certified or photostatic copies, and the authenticity of the originals of
such copies.  We have assumed that all signatories were and are legally
competent to execute and deliver the documents executed by each of them.

     Based upon and subject to the foregoing, and in reliance thereon, and
subject to the qualifications hereinafter expressed, we are of the opinion that
the shares of Common Stock to be issued under the Plan have been duly and
validly authorized for issuance and, when issued in accordance with the terms of
the Plan, will be validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable.

     We are members of the Bar of the State of Florida and do not herein express
any opinion as to matters governed by the laws of any jurisdiction other than
the internal laws of the State of Florida (without reference to the choice-of-
law or conflict-of-law provisions, principles or decisions under Florida law, or
under any other state, federal or foreign law); and we have assumed compliance
with all other laws, including, without limitation, Federal, foreign and other
states' laws.

     Our opinions are limited to the specific issues addressed and are limited
in all respects to laws and facts existing on the date hereof. By rendering our
opinion letter, we do not undertake to advise you of any changes in such laws or
facts which may occur or come to our attention after the date hereof.

each other employee, officer or director of the Company to whom any duty or
power relating to the administration or interpretation of the Plan may be
allocated or delegated, against any cost or expense (including counsel fees) or
liability (including any sum paid in settlement of a claim) arising out of any
act or omission to act in connection with the Plan unless arising out of such
person's own fraud or bad faith; provided, however, that approval of the Board
                                 --------  -------

any such person. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive
of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled

otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them
harmless.

              (f) Governing Law.  The Plan will be administered in accordance

              (k) Titles and Headings.  The titles and headings of the sections
in the Plan are for convenience of reference only, and in the event of any
conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings shall
control.

     9.       Nonexclusivity of the Plan.  The adoption of this Plan by the
              --------------------------                                   
Board shall not be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the
Board to adopt such other incentive arrangements as it may deem desirable, and
such arrangements may be either applicable generally or only in specific cases.
