• Depending on your state’s statutes, paying state taxes when you are going to be out of your home state a significant amount of time may not be required.
• Montana has no sales tax.
• Montana has no vehicle inspections. Your vehicle never needs to visit Montana*.
• We will form a Limited Liability Company (LLC) in Montana for you.
• You will then have your LLC buy your RV.
• The tax liability will move to Montana once your LLC takes ownership and registers the vehicle.  Because Montana has no sales tax, you will only pay for the registration!
• RV and motorhome registrations in Montana are based on the year and body style.

*Salvaged vehicles may have additional requirements. Please contact our office for more information if you are purchasing a salvaged vehicle.

Typically, the first thing you will need in any purchase is to have the LLC set up with the Montana Secretary of State. We use a Priority Filing with fax confirmation when setting up your Montana LLC. This means that we will have your LLC in place in no more than 2 business days!

As soon as your LLC is set up, our Customer Service department will contact you regarding the next steps. You will receive a package of LLC documents (typically via email) and directions for each document. Those documents need to be completed and returned to our office before the registration can be processed.

Once the documents are in complete and have arrived at our office, your plates should be delivered in 3 to 5 days via Priority Mail. Expedited service is available for an additional fee.

License plates are mailed to you via USPS Priority Mail. This is a 3 to 5 day guaranteed service. Your plates are shipped out of Red Lodge, Montana.

Plates can be shipped as quickly as overnight, if needed. We do ask that you pay for the additional shipping costs associated with this service.

No, your vehicle does not have to go to Montana! Because Montana has no requirements for vehicle inspections, all of the paperwork associated with registration, titling, and plate renewal can be done via mail, fax, email, or online.

Yes! We can work with vehicles that you already own. Click here for more information on your specific situation.

Please call our office, or submit an online request and we will be happy to provide you with additional information regarding your particular state of residency.

Conditions vary from state to state, but virtually every state’s statutes make this opportunity legal.

It is important that if you have questions regarding your situation, you contact an attorney licensed in your state of residency to determine your specific requirements.

TaxFreeRV is not aware of any current state programs for verification.

Yes – in fact we encourage it! You will need an attorney licensed in your state of residency in order to determine how the program can work for your specific needs.

Yes. You can give them our toll free number: (888)441-5741 x1.

TaxFree RV will provide you with a Resolution to Operate to keep in your glove box. This document can be used to show that the LLC has authorized you to operate the vehicle.

Yes. Not all lending instituitions will process loans for an LLC that purchases a personal vehicle, like a motorhome or travel trailer. These loans are hybrids of commercial and consumer loans, so you will want a lender that understands how it works.

One lender that works with Montana LLCs is RV Financing. You can contact them at (888) 929-4424. If you have an existing lender that will work with you, contact our office to get additional information on questions you will want to ask before finalizing the loan.

If your lender has questions, you can also ask them to contact our office at (888) 441-5741.

Unfortunately, you personal name cannot appear on the title to the vehicle – even if your LLC is also listed. Each individual or company who applies for a vehicle title in Montana must prove that they are a resident of Montana. We can provide documentation showing that the LLC is legal set up in Montana with the Secretary of State. However, because you personally are not a resident of Montana, you will not be able to be listed on the loan.

The good news is, there may be some flexibility with the loan paperwork. If your lender will allow you to write the loan contract showing the LLC and you personally as guarantors on the loan, but still have the vehicle registered and titled to the LLC only, we can work through the rest!

Absolutely! We can recommend a financing company to you (RV Financing).

You can also look into loan options that might include personal lines of credit and home equity loans. These types of loans generally do not require you to list the bank as a lien holder on any property purchased with the money, and may leave you the freedom to have the RV titled and registered to the LLC.

Yes we can! We have prepared a variety of paperwork for lenders. Please call or email us with the requirements, and we will be happy to provide you with the paperwork; or refer you to another resource where you can get the requested paperwork. We want to make you and your lender both comfortable with the transaction!

• Professional Binder with your Limited Liability Company name
• Articles of Organization for the LLC
• Operating Agreement
• Company Resolution to Purchase your RV
• Company Resolution Authorizing Operation of your RV
• Certificate of Membership Interest for each member of the LLC
• Attractive glove box envelope for your important papers.
• Space to add any other paperwork you may want to keep with you

We will remind you! As part of our service, we will send you an email reminder at the beginning of the month when your registration is due for renewal. Then, when the renewal cards arrive from the State, we will also forward them out to you via first class mail. If you choose, you can renew your plates before the cards even arrive – our email to you will have directions for renewing through our office, over the phone with the County, and online.

In Montana, the owner of the vehicle holds the title. The title to your vehicle will be sent to our office (your LLC’s address). We will scan a copy for our records, send you an email to let you know it’s on its way to you, and mail it to the shipping address you provide us! If you have a lien on the vehicle, the lien holder will get a separate lien record sent directly to them from the State.

RV license fees are determined based on the body type of the RV. Motor home fees are based solely on the year of the vehicle, and travel trailers are based on the length.

The cost of the registration of an RV can be as low as $130, and is no higher than $346 (including Priority Mail shipping charges).

No. Any additional costs would be because of additional services requested by you! Examples would be additional vehicles registered to your LLC, or expedited shipping.

Yes. There are two things you can expect to pay for each year – the LLC renewal, and the registration renewal. Each January we will invoice you $130 for the renewal of your LLC. That fee includes us continuing to be your service provider for the next calendar year, the creation of your Annual Report filing for the Secretary of State, the State filing fee, and basic mail forwarding on behalf of your LLC.

Annual registrations are billed directly by the State. Your cost is the exact amount shown on the Montana registration renewal card.

Your order can be processed over the phone at (888) 441-5741 x1, or by using our online order form. We accept payment by check, credit card, or PayPal.
