A:
You can register your RV under a Montana LLC while being a Kansas resident, but there are a few considerations to keep in mind. Montana allows LLCs to register vehicles with no sales tax, which is why it's a popular option for RV owners. However, Kansas law requires that vehicles owned and operated by Kansas residents be registered in Kansas if the vehicle is garaged or primarily operated within the state.
If you're planning to store and operate the RV mainly in Kansas, it could raise red flags with Kansas authorities. They might view this as an attempt to avoid Kansas taxes and registration fees. This could lead to penalties, fines, or issues with law enforcement if your RV is frequently seen in Kansas with out-of-state plates.
It’s important to ensure that you're following both Kansas and Montana laws. If you're found in violation of Kansas registration rules, it could result in legal complications. It may be helpful to weigh the potential tax savings against the risk of these penalties.
