News from the  MT Secretary of State

HELENA — Montana Secretary of State Christi Jacobsen is once again waiving fees for Montana businesses.

Secretary Jacobsen announced that the 2025 Annual Report filing fees will be waived for all Montana businesses, resulting in millions of dollars in savings. Secretary Jacobsen previously eliminated the 2024 Annual Report filing fee and is excited to provide savings to hard-working Montana businesses once again.

“The Secretary of State’s Office is proud to make it easier to do business in Montana, and we’re working daily to assist businesses on their journey,” said Secretary Jacobsen. “By cutting and waiving fees, increasing efficiencies, and providing excellent customer service, Montana businesses can focus more on their day-to-day tasks to provide services and products to our communities.”

In addition to numerous compliments and gratitude provided by Montana businesses, the state’s Legislative Audit Committee also applauded the Secretary of State’s Office for continuing to support Montana businesses and finding ways to save them money.

“I would like to say, ‘Thank you.’ It’s great when government can actually work for the people and give the people back their money, or not charge them for something,” Senate President and Legislative Audit Committee Chair Jason Ellsworth said during a June meeting. “I encourage the Secretary of State to keep that going, and let’s let businesses be businesses in Montana while continuing to save them money.”
