File your Montana annual report
Montana charges $0 for an LLC annual report, paid to the Montana Secretary of State. Montana has waived the annual report fee through 2027, so there is no government fee right now. The report itself is still required and is due April 15. FastBusinessFiling prepares and files it for a flat $50, so the total is $50 with the state's fee passed through at cost. Filing schedule set by the Montana Secretary of State: Annually; due April 15. Fees last checked Oct 2, 2026, on the official site of the Montana Secretary of State.

Registered agent at $99, only if you want one
Optional, and it sits beside a free option to name yourself. Most people never need to buy it.

What does forming an LLC in Montana cost?
Montana charges $35 to register an LLC and we file it for $100 flat. Forming an LLC in Montana covers what the state wants and what it costs.
What else does Montana require of an LLC?
Montana requires an annual report with no state fee and a registered agent at all times, and, with no statewide sales tax, no state sales tax registration.
Sales tax registration
Montana has no sales tax, so there is no reseller permit to obtain. More on Montana reseller permits.
Registered agent
Every Montana LLC has to name one. It can be you at no cost if you have a street address in the state. Ours is $99 a year and optional, with no first year that quietly becomes a renewal.
Trade name, if you use one
$20 to the state, plus our $50. Assumed business name registration lasts 5 years. An expired Montana name cannot be renewed and must be filed fresh.
What else do people ask about the Montana annual report?
$0 to the Montana Secretary of State. Our fee to prepare and file it is $50, so $50 in total.
Late consequences are set by Montana and range from a penalty to administrative dissolution, which means the state stops recognising your company until you fix it. The cost of being late is always higher than the cost of the report, and reinstatement is a separate filing with its own fee. We do not publish a penalty figure for every state because those change without notice; the Montana Secretary of State publishes the current one.
The report is about the company existing, not about what it earned. A dormant LLC with no revenue owes the same report as a busy one for as long as it is registered. If you are done with the company, dissolving it is what stops the obligation.
