Montana Motorcycle & ATV Registration

Yes. Montana allows registration of off-road motorcycles for legal on-road use through an LLC.

Montana registration is legal, but not all states will honor it the same way. We provide documentation and guidance to help you succeed.

No. Montana does not require lights, mirrors, or street mods for registration.

You can register dirt bikes, ATVs, UTVs, dual sports, custom motorcycles, and trikes.

Yes, if your motorcycle or ATV is over 11 years old, it qualifies for permanent registration.

Yes, you can! Just be sure to select “Sponsor Plates” ($299) when placing your order for vehicle LLC registration.

Yes! You can add more motorcycles, quads, and trailers under the same LLC. Many clients start with one and add more later. The more you register, the more you save.

Here’s how:

1. Log in to your client portal.
2. Select “Vehicle Registrations” from the menu.
3. Select “+ Vehicle” at the top right corner of the page.
4. Follow the instructions to place your vehicle registration order in just a few minutes!

Absolutely. You’ll get ongoing support through your client portal, free digital mail forwarding, and access to additional services like vehicle transfers, renewals, or permanent registration. We’re here for the long haul.

That depends. Here’s a quick breakdown of how the Montana Luxury Tax works.

• Light Vehicles. If you own a light vehicle (typically a car or pickup truck) with an original MSRP equal to or greater than $150,000, then you will need to pay an $825 annual luxury tax until the vehicle is 11 years old.
• RVs/Motor homes. If your vehicle has an original MSRP equal to or greater than $300,000, then you will need to pay an $800 annual luxury tax until the vehicle is 11 years old.

The good news? If you’re planning to buy a high-value vehicle, the Montana luxury tax is significantly lower than what you’d pay in state sales tax.

Purchasing a $500,000 car in Florida? That’d be $35,000 in sales taxes. If you choose to register that car in Montana instead, you’ll pay $800 a year until the vehicle is 11 years old.

That means even if it’s a brand new car, you could save at least $25,000 in sales tax by registering with a Montana LLC!

That depends on the county. For example, we’re in the City of Kalispell, so you can hire us to register your vehicle here and you don’t have to pay a county option tax like you would with our competitors in other counties.

If you’re registering on your own in another county, you can find your county’s website and contact information through the Montana MVD’s County Location finder.

Yes. All Montana companies, including those formed for registering a vehicle, are required to file an Annual Report with the Secretary of State. Annual reports must be filed every year by April 15th. If you miss your due date, you will be charged a $15 penalty fee, and your business could be administratively dissolved by the state.

In order to help keep your company from falling out of good standing with the state (and risking your vehicle LLC), we include enrollment in our Annual Report Compliance Service at no upfront cost. We’ll send you reminders before you annual report is due, and if you want us to handle the filing for you, we’ll take care of it for $50 plus state fees. You can always cancel service in your online account.

If you currently have a lien or may have a lien in the future, this process is a little more complicated. In some cases, this process cannot be completed if you have a lien. For more information regarding registration with a lien, please contact us.

Import vehicles have a very different set of requirements. If you have an imported vehicle that you’re looking to have us register under a Montana LLC, please contact us.
