Any comments on Montana registration?

I have registered several vehicle's in Montana, save $$$ on taxes and also registration fees are less than most states.

Saved a ton on Sales Tax by registering as LLC in Montana. PM me if you want the contact info for the company I used. It was simple and only took about a week.

No doubt Montana license and registration is a money saver on the surface.  It is advisable to do a little due diligence before you make a decision.  With the economy the way it is and states looking for additional revenue it may serve you well to read the state law where you reside and have your attorney's opinion in hand if you are stopped and have to explain why your driver's license is from one state and your coach is registered in another.  Kind of reminds me of Dirty Harry "Do you feel lucky?"

You only want to register in Montana through an LLC. I have registered two motorhomes and two new autos with no problems and no issues with driver's license in a different state. If you do not use an LLC, you will be required to obtain a Montana drivers license which can only be obtained with a presence in Montana plus you will likely have to pay state income taxes in Montana. LLC is the only way to go but only if the purchase price is within their new limits. It has been several years but the original cost was about $1,000 plus an annual fess which is reasonable since they handle the annual filing fees and registration. Everything can be done by mail and I have saved many thousands of dollars in sales taxes over the years. You may be required to buy your insurance through a Montana agent, but there is an agent in Oregon that handles insurance for Montana vehicles.

Great info! I was considering the LLC but might not be worth it in my case. Ironically I have been seeing Montana LLC feeds in my sidebar advertisements.

I didn't do MT registration as the boss squashed that concept, but what I have gathered from friends who do it is to also register your tow vehicle, etc. in MT as well. Most I've talked to just register all vehicles there, especially if their home state has personal property tax like mine does. Only hangup I've heard of aside from your true resident state DOR coming after you is that some insurance carriers want the state the coach is registered in and whatever address you list as a storage location to be in the same state. Not all carriers, but some do.
