Question How to register in Montana?

[JRS]

If you're an actual Full Timer and don't stay in any state for a long period of time, an LLC is a great option. IMHO, you'll be pushing your luck if you don't full time.
We used: Montana LLC | $49 Montana Registered Agent
We registered both the RV and Toad to the LLC. Approximately 1.5yrs later when we were back in FL, we switched our registrations to FL where we're domiciled. At least when we did it, you could register in FL 6 months and 1 day later w/o having to pay taxes. We also had no problems securing insurance.
We've been through and stayed in most states mentioned by those saying not to do it w/o any issues. Been followed and passed by Law Enforcement. Passed through check points (including California west of Yuma) on our way to San Diego where an agent actually entered the rig at the doorway to talk to us w/o any issues.

Do all other states charge sale tax on rolling stock. Oklahoma does not. We pay an excise tax on all rolling stock. Currently 3.5%. Used vehicles as well. on used, you pay on purchase price or state estimated value which ever is higher.

SC charges property tax based on some number they come up with using software the taxpayers have bought but aren't allowed to look at. It seems quasi reasonable once a vehicle passes ~3 years old but for a new $70K vehicle it can be brutal, a multi-hundred thousand dollar class A would be substantial but you could get a discount as a second dwelling (I know you can with a travel trailer). The tax is paid along with your registration fee then you get your plate sticker in the mail. It's a bit of a racket but every dollar misappropriated any where by anyone who took it and didn't ask for it is no different.

Just for the record - What do you mean by "rolling stock"? The Google search I did is talking about things being hauled by a train.

anything that is tagged for road use. Motorcycles, trailers, motorhomes, cars, pickups, and road trucks. Anything that is off road and not for farm use is charged sales tax. Non farm use UTVs and construction tractors for example would be charged sales tax.
