Ray,
I live in Ohio and Ohio law states that if you reside in Ohio, owned vehicles must be titled in Ohio. Prior to establishing a Montana LLC through Bennett Law Office, I checked with my attorney and she said that it is legal. The loop hole is that I personally do not own the vehicle but the LLC does. I own 100%of the LLC but do not directly own the bus. My toad car is titled in Ohio and my driver license is Ohio.
Several months I was stopped by a beautiful, young, star-struck, Ohio State Highway PatrolWOMAN and the first words out of her mouth were "who's on the bus?" She had a great look of disappointment when I told her my wife and I. She then started asking how many people were on the bus. Again, disappointment when I told he two, my wife and I.
She did the normal things a cop does and checked my license and registration and asked why I had Montana plates on the bus living in Ohio. I told her that I own a corporation in Montana and that the bus is titled in the name of the Montana corporation. I showed her insurance papers with the Montana corporation name confirming everything and she was satisfied.
Since she had to have Probable Cause to stop me and "Who's on the bus?" does not qualify, she said I did not signal a lane change and don't do it again. If there was a legal problem with the Montana LLC and a non Montana drivers license, I would not have been told "Don't do it again and have a nice day."
I have had the LLC for several years and have purchased a Foretravel and a Prevost with it saving thousands of dollars in sales tax. But before anyone does a LLC, check with your attorney because each state is different.
