Great Falls Bill of Sale — FAQs
What documents do I need to sell a car in Great Falls, MT?
You need the signed-over vehicle title, a completed odometer disclosure statement (for vehicles under 10 years old), and a bill of sale. Montana does not require a state-specific bill-of-sale form — a written document with the sale price, date, VIN, and both party signatures is sufficient.
Does a Montana LLC vehicle registration actually save money?
For Montana residents, there is no tax to save since Montana has no sales tax. For non-residents, forming a Montana LLC to register a vehicle avoids home-state sales tax at purchase, but this is increasingly scrutinized by other states and can result in back taxes and penalties.
How do I transfer a title at the Cascade County Treasurer?
Bring the original title (signed by the seller), the odometer disclosure, a bill of sale, a valid photo ID, and payment for title fees. The Cascade County Treasurer will process the transfer and issue a new title in the buyer's name.
