FilingOak · LLC Formation by State
Montana LLC Formation Service
Montana's domestic LLC filing amount is $35, so the standard FilingOak order is $530.
The 2026 annual-report fee policy makes timing unusually useful: reports filed from January 1 through April 15, 2026 receive the state fee waiver. After that early window, the ordinary report fee is $35.

Montana's 2026 fee waiver changes the best filing time
The Secretary of State waived the annual-report fee for the January 1 through April 15, 2026 filing period. A waiver changes the price of timely early filing; it does not erase the underlying reporting obligation. Montana official filing and fee guidance
A temporary waiver should not become a permanent $0 claim
Montana has also announced a waiver for the 2027 early filing period. The waiver is year-specific, so the amount should be checked for the reporting year rather than treated as a permanent $0 annual-report fee.
Montana's fee waiver does not change what the filing must disclose
Montana forms LLCs through the Secretary of State business portal and requires a registered agent plus the management/organizer information applicable to the filing. FilingOak prepares the record from the company's actual structure.
Montana's public record survives a temporary fee waiver
Montana's entity record can include the registered-agent, organizer and management information the filing requires. Public Record Address Privacy is used only where the state field and FilingOak workflow legitimately allow it.

Montana's fee-waiver window can reward an owner who stays on top of the calendar
Montana's low formation fee and simple portal can make self-filing attractive. If the founder is comfortable with the registered-agent and annual-report calendar, FilingOak is not required.
FilingOak is the administrative bundle for buyers who prefer to hand off the formation and keep the reporting record visible after approval.
