How to move a mobile home in Montana: permits, taxes and setup

In Montana the county treasurer issues a tax-paid sticker for a home that is to be moved only after all taxes, interest, and penalties have been paid, and the owner must display the sticker so it is visible from the exterior before and during the move.

  1. Tax-paid sticker

    The department issues tax-paid stickers to county treasurers. A treasurer shall issue a tax-paid sticker to the owner of a mobile home, manufactured home, or housetrailer that is to be moved and on which all taxes, interest, and penalties have been paid in full, unless listed exceptions apply. Before and while moving the home, the owner shall display the tax-paid sticker, which must be visible from the exterior. A movement declaration of destination may not be issued unless the taxes have been paid in full or an exception applies. Moving a home in violation of this part leads to a written notice of delinquent amounts, plus an added penalty of 20% or $50, whichever is greater.
