grimmwerks Posted December 30, 2021 Report Share Posted December 30, 2021 So I've had a computer software business for 25 years and had it under a Montana LLC for awhile, and when we bought our vehicles I registered them under the business -- but now I sort of wish I hadn't. We've been talking about transferring our license to FL and was going to transfer the vehicles to FL as well but unsure about the best way to go about it? We've already set up the FL mail address and need to get some pieces of mail to it (bank? Personal?). We're in a strange position as well because the house we 'sold' hasn't finalized yet and it might be a few months (it's in probate because of a weird issue with the deed) so technically we could continue as we are (ie 30 days after the house is sold we'd need to change our license, correct?) but it all feels really weird and wondering the best way to move forward. Considering a phone consultation with the escapees lawyer. Thanks for advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk W Posted December 30, 2021 Report Share Posted December 30, 2021 (edited) It sounds like you need better advice than any of us could give to you. Owning a house doesn't necessarily indicate domicile, but there are a lot of issues and you may not wish to discuss them all here. I would suggest that you contact Loring & Associates.

Roy & Ann Posted December 30, 2021 Report Share Posted December 30, 2021 The best thing to do is talk to the lawyer in Montana that setup up your LLC. I did exactly what you are doing several years ago. To my best recollection. We just went to the Florida DMV in the county you have your legal address in. You will need to bring the Title and all documents from the LLC showing you are the owner. Florida DMV will need to see the truck or motorhome to get the Vin number from the vehicle. They do not need to see the trailer if it is a 5th wheel or TT. I also transferred my Drivers License. One thing, when you renew your vehicle registration you will have to do it in the county you originally registered in. It is a tax thing. You can do it online. Hope this helps.

2gypsies Posted December 30, 2021 Report Share Posted December 30, 2021 I think you're overthinking this. All you're doing is moving to another state. and it seems, dropping the LLC. Contact Florida DMV for more information but here's a site giving you some..... don't know how current it is. First..... establish Florida residency. Then 'move' there. Millions do it all the time. https://www.mymove.com/moving/guides/dmv-change-of-address/ Quote Full-timed for 16 YearsTraveled 8 yr in a 2004 Newmar Dutch Star 40' Motorhome and 8 yr in a 33' Travel Supreme 5th Wheel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmeris Posted December 31, 2021 Report Share Posted December 31, 2021 If your looking to transfer your business license to Florida you can start with sunbiz.org to get answers on registration of business. There are tax implications for both states and you should consult with a tax professional and depending on the complexity of the business,a lawyer.

Jinx & Wayne Posted December 31, 2021 Report Share Posted December 31, 2021 15 hours ago, Roy & Ann said: They do not need to see the trailer if it is a 5th wheel or TT. But you do need to get a deputy from that county to verify the vin number if you don't have the trailer along. Escapees has the proper paperwork. Once you have it call the county sheriff's dispatcher, tell them what you need and they will send out a deputy to verify it. We did this at Bushnell several years ago and it was seamless.

Roy & Ann Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 When I went to the Florida DMV in Clay county, Green Cove Springs, to change my plates over. I brought my truck and trailer. The inspector from the DMV went out to the parking lot and just checked the vin of the truck. He did not look at the trailer. I was surprised, but he said it was not necessary. They used the vin number of the trailer from the tile. That was my experience. This is Florida, go figure.

whj469 Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 I am thinking that since you used the LLC in MT to avoid sales tax? Do you have to pay sales tax when you give up the LLC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
