Skip the Hassle. Register Smarter with Montana.

Buying a vehicle should be exciting—not the start of a paperwork nightmare. But most states turn registration into a slow, expensive grind.

Inspections eat up your time…
And DMV lines? Forget about it.

Montana flips the script. No inspections. No residency rules. And zero sales tax—legally.

Too many services overcharge or complicate a process that should be simple. So we built the solution we couldn’t find: fast, flat-rate, fully managed Montana registration for cars, trucks, and SUVs.

Why So Many Drivers Register in Montana

In high-tax states like California, New York, Illinois, and Washington, registering a vehicle often means shelling out thousands in sales tax, passing emissions tests, and dealing with yearly inspections and renewal fees. On a $60,000 SUV, that could mean $5,000+ in taxes alone.

Montana takes a different approach. There’s no sales tax, no smog checks, and no mandatory inspections. And thanks to Montana’s LLC laws, you can legally register your vehicle here—even if you live elsewhere.

We’ve helped register thousands of vehicles across all 50 states. Our process is built to be legal, efficient, and fully documented, so you’re set up for success. Whether you’re buying new, transferring ownership, or trying to skip red tape back home, we’ll walk you through every step—and help you save thousands doing it.

Montana charges zero sales tax—so when you register your vehicle here, you can legally avoid the hefty taxes your home state tacks on. That’s a $4,000–$7,500 savings on a $75,000 car or truck, depending on where you live.

Live in California, New York, New Jersey, or Illinois? You already know the drill: smog tests, inspection lines, and red tape. Montana doesn’t play that game—no emissions tests or inspection requirements for registration.

Montana lets anyone form an LLC here and register a vehicle under it—no matter where you live. Whether you’re in Florida, Texas, or anywhere else, we make it fully legal and straightforward.

Have a light vehicle that’s 11+ years old? Anything under the weight of an F350 that is of age qualifies for permanent Montana plates, meaning no renewal fees, ever again. Just register it once and hit the road.

LEARN MORE ABOUT MONTANA REGISTRATIONS

In Montana, a “light vehicle” typically refers to most everyday personal vehicles—cars, SUVs, pickup trucks (up to one ton), and vans. If it’s not a motorhome or a large commercial truck, it usually falls under this category.

So whether you’re driving a Nissan Frontier, Toyota Tundra, Ford F-150, Dodge Ram 2500, Ford Super Duty, or Chevy Silverado 3500, Montana considers it a light vehicle for registration purposes.

This is the technical term used by the Montana DMV—but for most drivers, it just means your car or truck qualifies for standard vehicle registration through your Montana LLC.

 

Yes — registering your vehicle in Montana through an LLC is completely legal and widely practiced. Montana law allows LLCs to own and register vehicles in the state, even if the owner lives elsewhere.

We follow the letter of the law and guide you through a fully compliant process used by thousands of out-of-state vehicle owners every year.

Montana charges 0% sales tax, which means serious savings—legally.
Let’s say you buy a $75,000 vehicle in a state with 7% sales tax… that’s $5,250 you’d normally owe just in taxes.

 

Register through a Montana LLC instead, and you skip that cost entirely.


That’s money back in your pocket for upgrades, adventures, or your next vehicle.

 

No—Montana doesn’t require emissions tests or routine vehicle inspections, making the registration process faster and easier than in states with strict environmental rules.

Yes—if your vehicle is 11 years or older and has a GVWR under 12,000 lbs, Montana allows permanent registration with a one-time fee. No annual renewals, no recurring costs—just register once and you’re set for life.

Yes! Sponsored plates are available for an additional $299. Just select the option during checkout when placing your vehicle order.

Yes, if your car or pickup had an original MSRP of $150,000 or more, Montana applies an $825 annual luxury tax until the vehicle is 11 years old.

 

That said, for high-value vehicles, skipping your state’s sales tax often saves you thousands more—making the Montana luxury tax a small price to pay in comparison.

When you register a new vehicle with us, you’re automatically enrolled in our renewal service. We’ll form your Montana LLC, provide registered agent service, and complete your initial registration. After that, our local team monitors deadlines and ensures your vehicle and LLC stay in good standing with the state.

 

When it’s time to renew, we handle everything for you—no stress, no missed deadlines. Once processed, your new tabs (and plates if needed) will be shipped directly to you.

 

Note: This renewal service applies only to standard light vehicles. It does not cover permanently registered vehicles, trailers, motorcycles, side-by-sides, scooters, boats, snowmobiles, or jet skis.

It depends on your lienholder. Some lenders allow title transfers to a Montana LLC, while others do not.
If there’s a lien on your vehicle, contact us before ordering and we’ll help you understand your options.

Most clients either update their current policy or get a new one written under their Montana LLC.


Let your insurer know where the vehicle is garaged and whether it’s your primary car.
If your insurer can’t help, we can connect you with agents who’ve worked with our clients before.

Absolutely. You can register additional vehicles anytime through your online portal.

Just follow these steps:

  1. Log into your client account

  2. Click on “Vehicle Registrations”

  3. Select “+ Vehicle”

  4. Submit your next registration in minutes

In Montana, vehicles must be registered in the county where your registered agent is located. Some counties charge an extra “county option tax”—but not ours.

 

We’re based in Whitefish, which does not have this added tax. That means lower registration costs for you, right from the start. It’s just one more way we help you maximize savings when you register with us.

Yes, but additional documents and steps may be required depending on how the vehicle was imported.
