Motor Vehicles

                                                          **ATTENTION**
If you purchased an automobile from a Dealership; once Ravalli County Treasurer’s Office receives title work from the dealer we will mail you a postcard or a letter letting you know the title work is in our office.  However if you do not receive this information and your temporary plate is ready to expire, please call our office to see if we have your title work.  Alternatively, you might want to call your dealer to see if they sent the title work.  Just because you do not receive a postcard/letter from our office, it is your responsibility to follow up on this transaction.

Thank you,

Dan
