Buy A Montana RV Tax Free
The practice of buying an RV in a Montana LLC is widely accepted. It's perfectly legal in Montana, though it may not be in your home State. The practice for full time RV people and out of country people who don't live anywhere and don't have residency anywhere is a very good option.
Buying a RV in a Montana LLC allows the LLC to purchase and license the RV in Montana, where there is no sales tax and very low licensing fees. There also is no personal property tax on assets that are licensed because the State and county are making money off the fees. Personal property tax is a double tax, and many State get mad at Montana for offering low registration fees, no sales tax, and no personal property tax for assets that are licensed. Montana people generally fell that less is more. Less complicated and less red tape means we'll all be better off. If other States that screw over their residents would take a lesson from Montana and just charge a normal acceptable fee, their residents would not need to look for alternatives to buy a RV in a tax free LLC. We hear stories from people that just want a motorhome and find out after they purchase it, that they can't even afford to license it in their home state.
Vehicle licensing in Montana is governed by section 61 of the Montana code annotated.
It states that RVs pay a license fee in lieu of taxes.
Montana RVs pay the license fee based off of the year, not the value. The only exception is the local county option motor vehicle tax that some counties like Helena or Missoula have. These counties usually charge about 1-2% of the suggested retail value. Our county, Flathead county, is one of the better financed counties and does not charge this tax.
