Montana LLC ATV and UTV registration
Side-by-sides, quads, and off-highway vehicles titled to a Montana LLC alongside your road vehicles.
Last updated October 1, 2026
You can title an ATV, UTV, or side-by-side to a Montana LLC the same way you title a car, and Montana levies no general sales tax. One LLC can hold your off-highway vehicles alongside your cars under a single registered agent and one annual renewal. Off-highway use rules are set by the state where you ride. Service starts at $749.
One LLC for road and off-road vehicles
A single Montana LLC can title and register several vehicles, so owners often hold quads, side-by-sides, and their road vehicles under one entity and pay one annual registered-agent renewal. Montana registers off-highway vehicles with the state, and because Montana charges no sales tax the cost does not scale with the machine's value. Where you actually ride is what triggers any home-state registration or trail-permit requirement, which Montana does not control, so check the rules in the state where the machine is used.
How registration works from any state
You never visit Montana. We form the LLC, act as your Montana registered agent, title the atvs & utv to the LLC, and register it with a county treasurer; plates are couriered to you in 2 to 4 weeks. The full sequence is on our how it works page, and you can compare your home state's rate on our registration-by-state pages.
What it costs
Standard Registration starts at $749, plus the $35 Secretary of State filing fee, a Montana LLC from $150, and county title and plate fees passed through at cost. Montana charges 0% sales tax, so nothing scales with the vehicle’s value. See itemized pricing, and the full cost breakdown. Montana Plate Co. is a formation and registered-agent service, not a law firm or tax advisor; confirm your home-state use-tax position with a tax professional.

Tax, permanent plates, and cost for registering atvs & utvs through a Montana LLC.
Can I register an ATV or UTV through a Montana LLC?
Yes. A Montana LLC can hold title to an ATV, UTV, or side-by-side and register it in Montana with no state sales tax. The LLC is the titled owner. Whether you also need an off-highway permit or registration where you ride is set by that state, not by Montana.
Can one Montana LLC hold my ATV and my car?
Yes. A Montana LLC can title and register multiple vehicles, so a side-by-side, a quad, and your road vehicles can all sit under one entity. You pay the state filing fee and our service fee per vehicle, but only one registered-agent renewal a year keeps the LLC in good standing.
How much does it cost to register an ATV in Montana?
Our Standard Registration starts at $749, plus the $35 state filing fee, a Montana LLC from $150, and county title and registration fees passed through at cost. Montana charges 0% sales tax, so nothing scales with the machine's value. See itemized pricing for the full breakdown.

Read the guideMontana LLC for non-residents: car registration explained
Yes. A non-resident can form a Montana LLC, and that LLC can title and register a car in Montana. You do not need a Montana address, driver's license, or visit; a registered agent in Montana supplies the in-state address. What a non-resident still owns is their home state's use-tax and registration rules, which depend on where the car is kept.
