Why Do People Register RVs in Montana?
People choose to register their RVs in Montana for the substantial tax benefits, lower registration fees, and freedom from state inspections and emissions tests. Here’s a rundown of the main benefits (click any bullet for more details):
No sales tax
We know you’ve heard it already, but seriously, there’s no state sales tax in Montana. That’s literally thousands of dollars you can pocket.
No emissions tests
Lately, states have been imposing emissions regulations that make it nearly impossible to purchase new RVs in-state. Luckily, Montana doesn’t require emissions testing, so people can get their new RV by registering here.
No inspections
Quite a few states require nitpicky vehicle inspections that end up wasting your time and money. Not Montana.
Permanent registration option
Montana’s permanent registration for RVs 11 years old or older allows you to pay a one-time fee for your lifetime registration. With this option, you’ll never have to worry about annual renewals again. Enjoy the convenience of long-term ownership without the hassle of constant paperwork.
Privacy and asset protection
Montana offers unique privacy advantages, with limited access to vehicle records. This can be especially beneficial for clients looking to protect their personal information. Additionally, if you’re concerned about asset protection, Montana registration may provide legal benefits that shield your RV from certain liabilities.
Flexible residency requirement
As a non-resident, you can still legally register your RV in Montana using a Montana LLC. That way, there’s no need for you to establish residency or even set foot in Montana. Our team will ensure all necessary documentation is submitted and processed.
How Do I Register My RV in Montana Without Living There?
To register an RV in Montana as a non-resident, you’ll need to set up a Montana limited liability company (LLC) and have a registered agent handle your state and DMV paperwork. Since the LLC is a legal resident of Montana, you can register your vehicle under your Montana LLC without living here yourself.
Basically, you’re forming an asset-holding company and purchasing the vehicle as an asset. You can think of it as owning a company car: you own the LLC, and your RV is an asset registered under that LLC’s name. Since that LLC is in Montana, it gets Montana benefits.
Here’s the best part: it’s perfectly legal. As far as Montana is concerned, your LLC is a resident of the state and you can register any of your vehicles under that holding company. So long as you have the paperwork to back it up, you’re golden—that’s where we come in.

“I cannot believe how helpful Lisa, Lucy, and Jessica (I hope I got their names correct) were during this process. I saved thousands in property tax and registration fees because of this company and its services. Even when I made a mistake on the paperwork, they were patient with me and assisted with all the recovery and statement of fact documents required. They are prepared and are always willing to speak on the phone when I needed a verbal confirmation about anything small or large. Would recommend this to anyone looking to register their vehicle or motor home under an LLC to save big time and get real quality services. 20/10 yall.”

How Do I Register an RV in Montana?
For residents, registering an RV or motor home in Montana is easier than one might think. In most cases, Montanans can purchase their motor home from a licensed auto dealer, and the dealership typically delivers that paperwork to the county treasurer’s office on the buyer’s behalf.
To register your RV or motor home as a Montana resident, all you have to do is the following:
- Obtain a Montana Application for Certificate of Title for a Motor Vehicle (Form MV1) from your county treasurer’s office (you can find them through the Montana MVD’s Forms & Manuals page).
- Complete the form, which asks for details about you and your RV or motor home
- Submit your application to the Montana Motor Vehicle Division (MVD) along with corresponding registration fees
- Pay any county or luxury taxes if applicable (find your county treasurer’s website and/or information through the Montana MVD’s office locator)
That’s it! After the state processes your paperwork, you’ll be issued your Montana RV registration and plates.
Does Montana Require Emissions Testing for RVs?
Nope! Montana does not have any emissions testing for RVs. So, if you’re trying to get a motor home like a new Winnebago Minnie Winnie or a Coachman Freelander in a state with strict emissions regulations, a Montana RV LLC could help you cut through the red tape.
We can help you license and plate your RV in Montana, no emissions test, vehicle inspection, or sales tax!
Is Montana RV Registration Really Sales Tax-Free?
Yes, Montana RV registration is completely sales tax-free! Remember, you’re registering your RV under your Montana LLC. Since that LLC is in Montana, it benefits from Montana having no sales tax.
That said, there are two potential taxes depending on your circumstances:
- County Option Tax: If you hire us for service, this won’t affect you because we register your RV in Kalispell, which is in Flathead county and has no county option tax. Nearly every other county does have a county tax, though. So if you’re not signing up with us, you will likely end up paying taxes. Kinda defeats the purpose, right?
- Montana Luxury Tax: For motor homes with an original MSRP equal to or greater than $300,000, you will need to pay an $800 luxury tax. At that price point, you’re still saving tens of thousands of dollars.
Will I have to pay the Montana Luxury Tax for My RV?
If your RV 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. Once the vehicle is 11 years old, you’re eligible to apply for a permanent plate instead.
If you’re planning to buy a high-end RV in a state with hefty sales taxes, then Montana’s luxury tax is the most cost-effective option by a long shot, even with the luxury tax.
How Much Does It Cost to Maintain RV Registration in Montana?
Aside from annual DMV registration fees, your cost will be associated with maintaining your LLC:
Registered Agent Fee. Maintain a registered agent in the state of Montana to make sure your LLC remains compliant. When you hire us to form your Montana motorcycle or ATV LLC, we include our registered agent service for one year. To keep us as your registered agent, we charge only $49 a year.
Annual Report Fee. Keep your Montana motorcycle LLC current by submitting an annual report to the Montana Secretary of State. Our annual report filing service keeps your LLC compliant for $70 a year, which includes the state’s fee.
And if your RV’s eligible for permanent registration (RVs 11 years old), you only have to pay one-time fee for lifetime registration. That means all you pay yearly is the registered agent and annual report fee for your LLC to stay in good standing!
How Long Will it Take to Register My RV in Montana?
Times can vary from depending on the state’s workload, but you can typically expect to have your RV plates and registration in hand in less than a month. 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 ASAP.
In a hurry to get on the road? We’ve got you covered. For an additional $75, we’ll get you temporary plates in as little as 10 business days.
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 get Temporary License Plates?
Yes, you can get temporary license plates! Simply select “Temporary Registration” ($75) when placing your order for vehicle LLC registration. Your temporary registration is good for 40 days.

We’ll notify you in advance, and you have the option to opt out of this service through your online account.
