Virginia's DMV puts titling first and registering second, and its sales tax has a state part and a local part that add up statewide. The sections below follow the DMV and the Department of Taxation. ## Title first, then register The Virginia DMV says you must first title your vehicle within 30 days of moving to Virginia and register it at any Virginia DMV customer service center within the same 30 days. The license window is longer: when you move to Virginia you have 60 days to get a Virginia driver's license. Commercial license holders are held to 30 days. Bring the Nevada title, registration, proof of insurance and proof of address. A lienholder holding your title can add a step, so ask your lender how to release it. ## Taxes in the Commonwealth Nevada collects no state personal income tax. Virginia's 2025 rate schedule, unchanged for years, reaches $720 plus 5.75 percent of the amount over $17,000, so the top rate is 5.75 percent and applies to almost every wage earner above that modest threshold. The retail sales and use tax is a combined 5.3 percent statewide: a 4.3 percent state part and a 1 percent local part that applies everywhere. Regional add-ons bring some areas to 6 or 7 percent. Nevada's statewide minimum is 6.85 percent. ## The move from Northern Nevada You book with O'Brien's, and the move starts at your home with an in-home estimate. An estimator itemizes the load, gives a written estimate and records condition on an inventory before packing. The Bekins network carries the shipment to Virginia, and the written estimate sets the delivery window. Military households heading to Virginia installations can read about [military moves and storage](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/military-moving/). ## Holding the household in Sparks If the Virginia house is not closed, wooden vaults in our Sparks warehouse hold the household from $40 per month, with about 2 to 3 weeks notice to ship.

February 20, 2026 We were referred to O'Brien's Moving and Storage though a friend in Reno. We couldn't be more pleased with the Professionalism and Service. They were quick to set up Luke to come out and give us a quote and scheduled the actual move date right away. Luke was on time for our quote as were the movers on our moving day. All three of the gentlemen who moved us were professional and courteous from start to finish. From the initial phone call to the completion of our move, we felt like we were treated as family. We would definitely use them again and recommend O'Brien's Moving and Storage to our friends in the future. ### Owner's reply Francie, Thank you for this amazing review. The result you have expressed is exactly what we all strive to accomplish. I love that you walked away knowing you are now a part of the O'Brien's family, whenever you need us we are a phone call away! I will let the movers know about the kind words expressed about them, that will be very satisfying for all of them. We will look forward to any referrals you send our way, thank you for the opportunity! M Mark S. January 22, 2026 Great company and local. They take great care of your moving needs.
