Your Montana LLC can hold as many assets as you wish. There is no limit to how many vehicles you can register to your Montana LLC, in any combination of vehicle type.

It is 100% legal for anyone to setup and own a Montana LLC, regardless of where they live. Your home state will have regulations on its books—under Use Tax laws—which are administered by your home state’s Department of Revenue or Equalization, and you do need to follow any limits on vehicle usage they may require. We recommend that you look those up, and read them with the understanding that a Montana LLC will be the registered owner of your vehicle, and not you personally.

The important thing is for you to know the Use Tax laws yourself. Then you will have solid information to guide your decisions. If you need to, check in with an attorney to set your mind at rest.

You can use your LLC for any legal purpose. As your commercial registered agent, our role is to assist you in establishing your LLC and maintaining a physical address in the state of Montana. We maintain the LLC by filing the annual report as required by the Montana Secretary of State's office. We also register vehicles on behalf of your LLC in the state of Montana.

Renewed registration fees depend on the age and type of vehicle. In general, cars and trucks that are 0-4 years old are around $250/year, and those fees decrease as the vehicle ages. RVs and Motorhomes 0-4 years old are around $300/year, and those fees also decrease as the vehicle ages.

We forward government mail (IRS, Secretary of State, Department of Revenue, etc) free of charge. DMV mail, including plates/registrations/titles/renewals will be scanned and uploaded into the document section of your customer portal, and we'll then forward those on at no additional fee via USPS. General mail will be forwarded in one of four ways, which you were prompted to select at sign up. Mail forwarding preference can be updated here: https://www.llctlc.com/mail-services

You'll want to provide a copy of your most recent LLC filing (annual report, articles of organization) to the dealership, and request that the title work be made out into the name of your Montana LLC.

If you are planning to finance a vehicle purchase, it's advisable that you speak with your lender ahead of time and make sure they are aware and amenable to the fact that this vehicle will be owned by your Montana LLC, not you personally. Your name cannot/will not appear on the title. If you want to register a vehicle that you have already registered in your personal name, there is an additional requirement of the lien-holder, in the form of a consent note, essentially agreeing that your Montana LLC will be the sole owner of the vehicle; your personal name will not appear on the title at all.

Per Montana DMV requirements, the consent note from the lien holder, on the the lien holder’s letterhead, needs to state “We authorize (name of Montana LLC) to register this vehicle in Montana.”

The note would also need to state the year, make, and VIN of the vehicle being financed. Please note that only the name of the Montana LLC can be put on the title and registration—your personal name cannot be on there, as you are not a Montana resident.

That note would then need to be mailed to us with the ORIGINAL vehicle title/MCO document (which needs to be made over into the name of the LLC).Lastly, we recommend confirming with your lender what information they will need about your Montana LLC. We can provide a copy of the filing of your Montana LLC, and can get you an EIN (commonly referred to as a tax ID number) from the IRS. We can send you the form needed to get the EIN, and apply for it after you return it to us

There is no requirement that you have a bank account for your Montana LLC. If you choose to open one, you'll need to use an establishment that's authorized to bank in Montana.

As the DMV fees for registering vehicles is variable, depending on the year, make, and model of the vehicle, we charge flat-rate fees of the following:

• $525 for trailers, quadricycles, SxS/ATV/UTV, and motorcycles

• $585 per standard vehicle for the plates/registration and title.

The only exceptions to this flat-rate fee system include big-rig/commercial trucks, or luxury vehicles. Luxury cars/trucks that are newer than eleven years old with an original MSRP of $150,000 or more incur a luxury tax. The luxury tax also applies to RVs newer than eleven years old with an original MSRP of $300,00 or more.

We'll email you early in the month that your renewed registration is due. In that email, we'll provide a link where you can complete the renewed registration directly through the DMV. The renewed registration will come through our office, and we'll forward it on to you. If you'd like us to take care of the renewed registration, please reach out to our vehicle department at 877-913-5100.

**If the most recent seller on your title has an address in one of following states, the bill of sale will need to be notarized. You can use this bill of sale: Kansas, Mississippi, Alabama, Hawaii, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Washington, West Virginia, Wyoming, Arizona. The original notarized bill of sale would need to be mailed to our office.
