Lewis and Clark said I need to appear in person to register under an LLC. Flathead's website says all LLC registration needs to go through MVD Express (which a private company they outsource to, from what I can tell). Lewis and Clark also doesn't have an additional county tax.) I called Flathead and Lewis and Clark to try to see if I could title and register myself to avoid the additional fees of using a service. (Btw, my ActiveFilings registered agent from Step 1 for the LLC is in Kalispell which is in Flathead County so there is no additional county tax there. For Step 4, I reached out to all the registration services that advertise LLC registration on google, and tried to negotiate a lower price but no one budged and the lowest quote was $549 plus $49 to change the registered agent from ActiveFilings to them.

I just signed my normal signature as the seller and the letters M and T in cursive for the first two letters of my LLC. So it's fine to sign them both but just use a different writing style.

You probably control/own the LLC, but note that on the Bill of Sale, the buyer and seller signatures need to be different (according to what the lady at MVD Express told me on the phone). Initially MVD Express told me I need to provide a notarized Montana Bill of Sale but then I told them I sold the car to the LLC in Oklahoma, and Oklahoma doesn't have a required form or require notarization so I just downloaded a bill of sale template off the internet and signed it. Step 3, I ended up not needing a notarization. Step 2, I'm not sure is actually necessary as I don't believe you need an EIN to title and register the car under your LLC. Buy the basic package which only charges you the $30 Montana state fees. Step 1 is really easy so definitely do this on your own rather than paying a company $300 to do it. Now that I'm almost through the process I'll give an update to help others. I guess I then call the county and ask what registration form to fill out and what else they need from me and then I mail in the title and registration forms, and then they mail me the license plate and tabs? Our county (Lewis and Clark County) is the most affordable in Montana, because we do not have the county option tax like almost every other county in MT.' So it seems I need to register in the county of my registered agent, ideally Lewis and Clark. Create an operating agreement for the LLC using an online template.Ģ) Get an EIN for the LLC from the IRS using their website.ģ) Create a bill of sale to transfer the car ownership from myself personally to the LLC and get it notarizedĤ) Per, 'If you’re forming a Montana company to register a vehicle, you have to license your Montana vehicle in the county of your registered agent. Register an LLC in Montana through an online service and use a registered agent located in Montana (I've used before and they are quick and cheap). Here's my list of steps I've come up with so far: I can't find a soup to nuts guide online so I thought I'd ask here. I've done some research on Montana LLC car registration and I see there are a bunch of services that offer to do it for you for like $500 to $800 but I already know how to do a bunch of the steps so I wanted to see if I could do it myself. I'm not an OK resident so the dealer sold it to me with temporary plates and left it up to me to register the car and pay tax. Hi, I just bought a vehicle in Oklahoma on a road trip.
