Montana annual report: the real fee, the real deadline, and the letters to ignore
The real Montana LLC report costs $20 every year and goes to the Montana Secretary of State, due April 15. Any letter from another sender that asks for more than that is adding its own charge.

Having it done for you
Mainstay Filing prepares and files the annual report as part of $199 a year, with Montana’s fee passed through at cost. The agent-only plan ($149) does not include it. Your agent itself is a separate matter: changing it in Montana costs no state fee (Mont. Code Ann. § 35-7-105).
What is the Montana LLC annual report fee?
$20, every year, to the Montana Secretary of State.
Is a Montana “annual report due” letter from a company real?
Only the state sets the Montana fee and due date. A letter from anyone else asking for more than $20 includes that sender’s own charge.
