How to Register a RV with the Montana DMV Tax Free
The practice of doing a Montana RV registration is easier than one might think.
You don't need to go into the local DMV office. Our DMV is the Flathead County DMV. We don't have a County option tax.
All you have to do is mail in your title or certificate of origin, your title application, a bill of sale if you don't show a chain of ownership on the title, and credit card payment. That's it. If you're in a hurry, you can overnight the documents to the Flathead DMV at 935 1st Avenue West, Kalispell, MT 59901 and include a pre-paid, pre-labeled overnight envelope back to you, and when UPS or FedEx makes their daily stop at the Flathead DMV they will pick up your package, and you'll have your RV registered with a license plate and registration in about 3 days.
Renewals will be sent out with a post card each year to your mailing address or your Montana LLC address. Even if you don't get the renewal, you can pay it online and they will mail the new sticker to you, or you can pay by faxing in the credit card payment to the Flathead DMV at 406-758-5863 and write on the fax cover sheet where you would like the new sticker mailed to. Montana has permanent address plates for travel trailers and vehicles that are 11 or more years old, so you might not even have to worry about renewals.
