Montana LLC Formation

Montana allows vehicles owned by LLCs to be registered without sales tax. By forming a Montana LLC, individuals and businesses can legally reduce costs on vehicle purchases, titles, and registrations

Yes. Forming a Montana LLC is legal. Many businesses and individuals across the U.S. use LLCs for asset protection, tax benefits, and vehicle ownership.

  • No sales tax on vehicle purchases in Montana
  • Potential savings of thousands of dollars compared to registering in high-tax states
  • Asset protection and separation of business and personal ownership
  • An ownership structure that works nationwide

Any type of vehicle can be titled and registered under a Montana LLC, including cars, trucks, SUVs, motorcycles, RVs, trailers, boats, and exotic or collector vehicles.

Dirt Legal typically completes Montana LLC formation within 1 day. Vehicle titling and registration can follow immediately after LLC creation and be complete in as little as 3 days.

Montana LLCs must maintain a registered agent in the state, file annual reports, and pay the $125 annual fee, regardless of how many vehicles are registered to the LLC. Dirt Legal provides full compliance services for these requirements.

Registered Agent Services

Montana law requires every LLC to have a registered agent with a physical address in Montana to receive legal documents, tax notices, and compliance-related mail. Dirt Legal services ensures you meet the residency eligibility requirements for your LLC and Registrations.

Yes. Dirt Legal provides professional registered agent services in Montana to ensure LLCs remain in good standing and compliant with state requirements.

Vehicle Registration in Montana

Yes. Out-of-state residents can register vehicles in Montana by forming a Montana LLC, which then owns the vehicle. This process is recognized nationwide.

Montana does not have a state sales tax, which is the primary advantage of registering vehicles there. Registration fees and title fees still apply. Eligible vehicles qualify for permanent plates.

Savings depend on the vehicle’s purchase price and the sales tax rate in the customer’s home state. For example, purchasing a $200,000 vehicle in a state with a 6% sales tax would normally result in $12,000 in taxes. Registering through a Montana LLC eliminates this tax. The average customer saves $5,000-$15,000 in sales tax, with many RV and exotic vehicle owners saving $20,000-$100,000.

Required documents generally include:

  • Bill of Sale or Dealer Invoice
  • Title (or Manufacturer’s Certificate of Origin for new vehicles)
  • Proof of Montana LLC ownership
  • Vehicle registration application forms

After forming the LLC, the registration is shipped in as little as 3 days, and titling is typically completed within 1–2 weeks, depending on DMV processing times.

Compliance and Legal Considerations

Dirt Legal does not give legal or financial advice, and recommends that all customers refer to advice from their attorney and/or CPA beforehand; all situations are unique.

Vehicles owned by Montana LLCs can still be insured in the owner’s home state. Customers should notify their insurance provider that the vehicle is titled to an LLC. Customers can also refer to Dirt Legal’s list of preferred insurance providers for additional insights and recommendations for their unique situations.
