Why Montana Is a Rising Star for Cleaning Businesses
Montana has experienced some of the fastest population growth in the western United States over the past five years. With over 1.1 million residents and a steady influx of remote workers and retirees relocating from higher-cost states, demand for professional cleaning services is accelerating across the state’s key metros.
The state’s median household income of $66,300 supports a healthy market for recurring residential cleaning, especially in booming communities like Bozeman, Missoula, and Kalispell where home values have surged. Vacation rental properties and second homes in resort areas near Glacier and Yellowstone National Parks create an additional revenue stream that many Montana cleaners tap into year-round.
Montana’s business-friendly environment — including no state sales tax — keeps overhead low and simplifies pricing for cleaning companies. With a relatively small number of established cleaning businesses competing for a growing customer base, early movers who invest in professional operations have a clear advantage.
No Sales Tax Simplicity
Montana is one of only five states with no sales tax. That means simpler invoicing, lower prices for your clients, and no compliance headaches when billing for cleaning services.

Bozeman and resort-adjacent communities like Whitefish and Big Sky command premium rates, often 20–30% above the state average. Billings and Great Falls are more competitively priced, while rural areas fall toward the lower end of the range.
Montana Cleaning Business Requirements
Business Registration
Register your business with the Montana Secretary of State. Forming an LLC costs $70 online. Sole proprietors should file a DBA (Assumed Business Name) with their county.
No State Sales Tax
Montana has no sales tax, which simplifies pricing and invoicing for cleaning businesses. There are no separate filing or collection requirements for sales tax.
State Income Tax
Montana has a progressive income tax ranging from 1% to 6.75%. Business income is reported on your personal return for pass-through entities like LLCs and sole proprietorships.
