Delaware is a very small destination by flow: the Census 2024 estimate shows no measurable movement between Nevada and Delaware, and its 2023 estimate counted about 118 people going from Nevada to Delaware. Anyone who does move there will find rules unlike anything in the West.

## Sixty days for title, registration and license

Delaware's Division of Motor Vehicles says new residents must title and register their vehicles within 60 days after becoming a Delaware resident, and that a person moving from another state must apply for a Delaware driver's license within 60 days. The same new-resident form covers both.

Delaware charges a document fee when you title a car there, so ask the DMV for the amount before you go. Bring your Nevada title, proof of insurance and two proofs of address.

## No sales tax, but a gross receipts tax

The Division of Revenue says Delaware imposes no state or local sales tax. Sellers pay a gross receipts tax instead, which is built into business costs. That changes a shopping budget more than a paycheck.

The state income tax reaches 6.6 percent at its top bracket, a rate in effect since tax year 2014. Nevada has no state personal income tax, so a Delaware salary is taxed in a way a Nevada one was not.

## A small state with a high median home value

Delaware's ACS median home value is 352,000 dollars, its median gross rent is 1,401 dollars a month and its median household income is 84,954 dollars. About 27 percent of households rent.

The nearest large metros have route pages: our [Reno to Philadelphia](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/long-distance-moving/routes/reno-to-philadelphia/) and [Reno to Baltimore](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/long-distance-moving/routes/reno-to-baltimore/) pages are the closest.

## How the move works

You book with O'Brien's and we coordinate the cross-country trip through the Bekins network. A free estimate at your home comes with 10 free heavy-duty boxes yours to keep, and the estimate is itemized and in writing. Delivery timing is set in your written estimate.

Because Delaware is so far east, families often close the Nevada house first. Vault storage in our Sparks warehouse, from $40 per month, holds goods in between.

Bekins Van Lines network

## How a long-distance move works with a Bekins agent

O'Brien's Moving & Storage has been an agent for Bekins Van Lines since 1955. On an interstate move the Bekins network carries your shipment under the van line's interstate system; O'Brien's books the move in either direction. Leaving Northern Nevada, we give the free in-home estimate, pack, store in our Sparks warehouse if you need it, and load. Moving here from another state, you book with us and we coordinate the move from your origin through the Bekins network, then handle delivery, unpacking and storage in Sparks. Your written estimate sets the delivery window. [What being a Bekins agent means](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/about/bekins-agent/).

3 O'Brien movers came down from Reno to South Lake Tahoe to assist our company moving a lot of big furniture out of a large warehouse. They showed up on-time, were friendly, and were professional and got the job done quickly and diligently. Will definitely use them again.

### Owner's reply

Thanks for the great review Greg! We really appreciate you taking the time to do that for us. We look forward to working with you again!
