I asked the Montana DOJ about licensing my TC in MT. Here's what they said:
"You would need to be a resident of, or own property in, Montana. We do not have a process to title and register a vehicle by non-residents.
Effective October 1, 2013 if a person owns property in Montana they may complete title and registration, in their Montana County of residence. The Montana address will need to be shown on the application and you may be asked for a paid property tax statement or another proof of property ownership.
Thank you.

Not trying to fan the flames with this. Just sharing FACTS with those who think they can license in MT and avoid taxes.
