Why Do People Register Their Vehicles in Montana?

People choose to register their vehicles in Montana for the substantial tax benefits, lower registration fees, and freedom from strict regulations.

That’s literally thousands of dollars you can pocket by registering your car, truck, or any vehicle in Montana.

Some states make it nearly impossible to purchase a new vehicle. Not Montana.

Montana doesn’t require nitpicky inspections that end up wasting your time and money.

Eligible vehicles can pay a one-time fee for lifetime registration.

How Can I Register My Vehicle in Montana Without Living There?

To register a vehicle in Montana as a non-resident, you’ll need to set up a Montana LLC to meet the residency requirement.

Basically, you’re forming an asset-holding company to register your vehicle (the asset) and get all the benefits of Montana registration.

The best part? It’s legal. Montana registers thousands of out-of-state vehicles every week. You just need a Montana registered agent who can get it done the right way.

Montana Vehicle Registration FAQs


What Does it Cost to Form a Montana LLC for a Vehicle?

Our total price for forming your MT LLC and your MT Vehicle Registration includes all the secretary of state and initial county DMV fees. (It doesn’t include GVW fees it it’s a light truck. See below.) It also includes the first year of our registered agent service and the use of our address in Montana. You can get the whole package for $1,049.

What Are The Benefits of Using a Montana LLC to Own a Vehicle?

In addition to sales tax and property tax-free vehicle registration, you can reap another benefit of Montana residency through your LLC: permanent plates. If your car, truck or van is 11 years old—or as soon as it reaches that age—you’re eligible to pay for permanent plates. That means that you pay a one-time fee of $130.00 and never have to worry about annual registration again.

The other big reason to buy your vehicle with your Montana LLC is asset protection. Your LLC is the owner, and our address is on record. Your name and address stay off Montana Secretary of State and DMV records.

How do I register my out-of-state vehicle in Montana?

  1. Get a copy of your Montana Articles of Organization.
  2. Form a Montana LLC with the Montana Secretary of State.
  3. Fill out an Application for Certificate of Title for a Motor Vehicle (form MV1).
  4. Include a title or Certificate of Origin—if necessary, also a bill of sale.

How Long Will it Take to Register My Vehicle in Montana?

Times can vary from 4-6 weeks depending on the state’s workload. If you hire us to handle things for you, we offer same-day LLC formation and DMV registration in order to expedite the process as much as possible. So if you purchase your MT vehicle as soon as your MT LLC is formed and overnight us the title work, you can have Montana plates as quickly as possible.

Can I Get Sponsored License Plates?

Yes, you can! Just be sure to select “Sponsor Plates” ($299) when placing your order for vehicle LLC registration.

Can I register more vehicles under my Montana LLC after signing up?

Yes, you can easily register more vehicles under your Montana LLC. Here’s how:

  1. Log in to your client portal.
  2. Select “Vehicle Registrations” from the menu.
  3. Select “+ Vehicle” at the top right corner of the page.
  4. Follow the instructions to place your vehicle registration order in just a few minutes!

Already a client and registering your first vehicle? You can follow the same steps above to register your first Montana LLC-owned vehicle. If you’re not a client but do have an active Montana company and want to register a vehicle under that company, sign up here for vehicle registration under your existing LLC.

Will I have to pay the Montana Luxury Tax?

That depends. Here’s a quick breakdown of how the Montana Luxury Tax works.

  • Light Vehicles. If you own a light vehicle (typically a car or pickup truck) with an original MSRP equal to or greater than $150,000, then you will need to pay an $825 annual luxury tax until the vehicle is 11 years old.
  • RVs/Motor homes. If your vehicle has an original MSRP equal to or greater than $300,000, then you will need to pay an $800 annual luxury tax until the vehicle is 11 years old.

The good news? If you’re planning to buy a high-value vehicle, the Montana luxury tax is significantly lower than what you’d pay in state sales tax.

Purchasing a $500,000 car in Florida? That’d be $35,000 in sales taxes. If you choose to register that car in Montana instead, you’ll pay $800 a year until the vehicle is 11 years old.

That means even if it’s a brand new car, you could save at least $25,000 in sales tax by registering with a Montana LLC!

Will I have to pay a county option tax?

That depends on the county. For example, we’re in the City of Kalispell, so you can hire us to register your vehicle here and you don’t have to pay a county option tax like you would with our competitors in other counties.

If you’re registering on your own in another county, you can find your county’s website and contact information through the Montana MVD’s County Location finder.

Do I need to file an annual report?

Yes. All Montana companies, including those formed for registering a vehicle, are required to file an Annual Report with the Secretary of State. Annual reports must be filed every year by April 15th. If you miss your due date, you will be charged a $15 penalty fee, and your business could be administratively dissolved by the state.

In order to help keep your company from falling out of good standing with the state (and risking your vehicle LLC), we include enrollment in our Annual Report Compliance Service at no upfront cost. We’ll send you reminders before you annual report is due, and if you want us to handle the filing for you, we’ll take care of it for $50 plus state fees. You can always cancel service in your online account.

How do I register a vehicle with a Montana LLC if I have a lien?

If you currently have a lien or may have a lien in the future, this process is a little more complicated. In some cases, this process cannot be completed if you have a lien. For more information regarding registration with a lien, please contact us.

Can I register an imported vehicle under a Montana LLC?

Import vehicles have a very different set of requirements. If you have an imported vehicle that you’re looking to have us register under a Montana LLC, please contact us.
