trimster Posted June 26, 2020 Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 Anyone have experience or insights into changing a HDT to motorhome classification in Montana?

jkoenig24 Posted June 26, 2020 Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 Do you ACTUALLY live in MT? If not, Michigan attorney Steve Lehto has a very good YouTube video which CLEARLY explains WHY, just forming a Montana LLC to avoid paying taxes that would otherwise be due, is a problem just wailing to bite non-Montana registrants in the butt. I'm including a link to said video. If you ARE a Montana resident, the HDT Resource Guide will probably have valuable information: https://hhrvresource.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimster Posted June 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 Nope. Utah. Will do more research. Our son did it for 5+ yrs when he was a lineman. The 5er was his residence and it was in Colorado, Texas, Utah, etc. No issues. He did have a Utah address (ours) and a Utah DL. Maybe S. Dakota is a better option. bob Quote Robert & Lisa '14 Keystone Fuzion 315 38' 5er 2015 Volvo VNL 670, D13, iShift 'The Tartis' (ours) 2013 Smart Fortwo Passion 'K-9' 2011 CanAm Spyder RT Limited (Ours) We are both USAF vets.

rickeieio Posted June 27, 2020 Report Share Posted June 27, 2020 Lots of folks have a MT llc to avoid taxes. Some states are cracking down. Kentucky has started checking registrations on Lake Cumberland, where there are LOTS of huge houseboats registered in MT. Personally, I wouldn't risk it, but then, our total rig is only worth perhaps $70-$80k. I might change my tune if I were buying new toys.

LostSoul Posted June 27, 2020 Report Share Posted June 27, 2020 If you want an answer to your question, it requires that your unit is inspected by a local LEO who signs the form. That is sent to your LLC office and they process the plates. I did it to avoid California. Mine was registered commercial in CA. It made sense to me to eliminate CA from my life when I went full time with no intention to return. My taxes were already paid. Incidentally, units 11 years old and older get permanent tags in MT.
