Montana Secretary of State

Note: The Montana annual report is due by 15 April. The statutory fee is $20 before that date and $35 after it — but the Secretary of State has waived the fee outright for several consecutive years and has announced it is waived again for 2026 and 2027. Treat the waiver as a decision that gets renewed rather than a permanent change, and confirm the current position before you budget for it. The filing itself is still required whether or not there is a fee.
