Registering a vehicle through a Montana LLC is a common strategy among exotic car owners and off-road vehicle enthusiasts, especially to eliminate sales tax and other restrictions.
Montana LLC Vehicle Registration
Montana allows individuals to register a vehicle in the state through an LLC, even if they are not Montana residents, according to the Montana Department of Justice Motor Vehicle Division.
Montana has no sales tax, does not require emissions testing, and places no restrictions on out-of-state ownership through Montana business entities, according to the Montana Secretary of State.
This makes it attractive for owners of exotic cars, classic vehicles, or off-road machines seeking affordable and flexible registration options
Eliminating Sales Tax on Cars
States like California impose some of the highest vehicle sales tax rates in the U.S., reaching up to 10% in certain counties, according to the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration.
By forming a Montana LLC and having it purchase the vehicle, many buyers eliminate paying this tax.
When considering where to register a vehicle, the choice of state can significantly impact your bottom line. For both businesses and individual owners, Montana vehicle registration has gained national attention for offering benefits that lead to substantial tax savings.

Why Choose Dirt Legal?
Most DMVs are not set up to process applications for vehicles without a clear paper trail, including those with lost titles, salvage history, or non-standard uses like off-road recreation, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Dirt Legal provides solutions by using frameworks and proven registration strategies, including LLC formation, VIN verification, and compliance paperwork, to issue valid titles and license plates.
These titles are verifiable and issued through recognized state authorities, allowing customers to register and insure their vehicles properly, according to Dirt Legal.

If you have a vehicle with no existing title, a salvage brand, or an off-road designation, and the DMV won’t give you a path forward, you’re not out of options.
