If you don’t renew or pay the required annual fees, Montana will likely proceed with administrative dissolution of your LLC after a grace period, which can take several months to a year. During this time, your LLC will lose its \”good standing\” status and eventually be dissolved by the state.

Once the LLC is administratively dissolved, Montana typically won’t aggressively pursue non-residents unless there are significant liabilities or legal issues. That said, penalties could accrue until the dissolution process is completed.

If your budget allows, consider filing Articles of Dissolution to formally close your LLC. This avoids potential penalties or compliance issues later. While this requires a one-time fee, it ensures the LLC is properly closed and no longer a concern.

If your LLC never operated or generated income, and you don’t have an EIN, your tax obligations are likely minimal to nonexistent. That said, it’s always a good idea to consult a professional familiar with non-resident LLC ownership for personalized advice. They can confirm your compliance and guide you through dissolution or other necessary steps.
