Selling a junk car in Montana: title & DMV rules
Montana requires a title in your name to transfer a junk vehicle, including a scrap sale from a Havre driveway.
- If the title is missing
- Montana uses a bonded (surety) title when the chain of ownership is broken: you post a surety bond — typically 1.5× the vehicle's appraised value — and the Montana Motor Vehicle Division issues a title you can sign over. The duplicate-title paperwork in Montana is Form MV100 (Application for Certificate of Title).
- License plates
- Remove the plates and keep them for transfer.
- Notice of sale / release of liability
- Report the transfer to your county treasurer's motor vehicle office.
- What Montana salvage buyers must do
- Montana titling runs through county treasurers with MVD oversight, and long distances mean tow scheduling usually matters more than paperwork timing. Duplicate titles use MV100; a bonded title covers vehicles with no usable ownership record.
- Sign the seller assignment on the title
- Complete the odometer disclosure
- Handle plates as MT requires
- File the notice of sale, then cancel insurance
