Florida charges up to 7.5% sales tax on motorcycle purchases. A $25,000 Harley-Davidson or Indian means up to $1,875 in tax. Montana charges zero. Street Legal Hookup handles your Montana LLC and title remotely.
Quick Answer
Yes. A Montana LLC can purchase and register your motorcycle in Montana, which has no state sales tax. This applies to all motorcycle brands and types — cruisers, touring bikes, sport bikes, adventure motorcycles, and custom builds. Street Legal Hookup handles the Montana LLC formation and full registration process remotely. Florida riders use this method to save hundreds to thousands of dollars on higher-priced bikes.
Florida taxes motorcycle purchases at up to 7.5% combined. On a $35,000 touring bike or custom Harley, that is $2,625 in tax. Montana charges zero regardless of the purchase price.
Harley-Davidson, Indian, Ducati, BMW, Honda, Kawasaki, Yamaha, Suzuki, Triumph — every brand and style qualifies. Street bikes, cruisers, touring bikes, adventure bikes, and trikes all register the same way.
Custom builds and collector-grade motorcycles are often the highest-value vehicles on the road. A $60,000 custom or rare vintage bike carries up to $4,500 in Florida tax. Montana eliminates that entirely.
Montana-registered motorcycles are not subject to Florida emissions inspections for registration purposes. This benefits older carbureted bikes and modified motorcycles.
