How Can 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 LLC to meet the residency requirement.
Basically, you’re forming an asset-holding company to register your RV (the asset) and get all the benefits of Montana registration.
The best part? It’s legal. Montana registers thousands of out-of-state RVs every week. You just need a Montana registered agent who can get it done the right way.

“This is the second time we have used this company to register a Motorcoach through a new LLC which they have handled for us. Each time they were very professional and everything was handled properly. We had one problem with the state evidently transposing a couple of digits of our VIN which delayed our tag. However the company got this straightened out and we now have our new tag. Highly recommend them.”

“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.
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.
How Much Does It Cost to Maintain RV Registration in Montana?

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 RV LLC, we include our registered agent service for one year. To keep us as your registered agent, we charge only $49 a year.

We’ll notify you in advance, and you have the option to opt out of this service through your online account.
A major benefit of having us handle everything for you is that you don’t have to worry about missing any deadlines and we will continue to list OUR contact information on public state filings, not yours.
