Hartford is a capital city with a high-income metro around it, and Connecticut is generous about the timing of paperwork and firm about the cost of living. A household from Reno has 90 days to switch a license and a registration, and meets a 6.35 percent sales tax with no local add-on. This page covers those rules, local housing and how O'Brien's plans the shipment. ## Connecticut's 90-day window Connecticut DMV says that once you have established residency you have 90 days to transfer your vehicle registration, and 90 days to transfer an out-of-state license. Some older Connecticut pages still show 60 days, so confirm the current figure on the DMV site, and treat 90 days as a limit and not a target. Connecticut taxes income on seven brackets that run from 3.0 percent to a top marginal rate of 6.99 percent. The sales and use tax is 6.35 percent, with no local sales taxes. Nevada has no individual income tax, so the move year deserves a tax professional's review. ## Hartford is a city of renters in a rich metro The American Community Survey shows 74.3 percent of Hartford city households renting, against 32.7 percent across the metro. Median household income is $46,411 in the city and $95,118 in the metro. Median gross rent is $1,269 in the city and $1,416 in the metro. The median home value is $228,600 in the city and $333,500 in the metro, against $502,300 in Reno. The gap between city and metro is wide, so decide on a town before deciding how much furniture to bring. ## Climate at Brainard Field NOAA's 1991-2020 normals for Hartford Brainard Field list a January high of 36.8 degrees with a low of 20.3, and a July high of 84.6 with a low of 65.7. Annual precipitation is 42.83 inches. Reno's January high is 47.7 and its July high is 93.9. Rain is spread through the year, so a delivery day can be wet in any season. Ask the crew about floor protection and have a dry spot ready for boxes. ## How the move works with O'Brien's You book the move with O'Brien's. An estimator comes to your Reno or Sparks home for a free, no-obligation in-home estimate, and 10 free heavy-duty boxes come with it. The move is coordinated through the Bekins Van Lines network, and your written estimate sets the delivery window. Read [how an interstate move works with a Bekins agent](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/long-distance-moving/how-interstate-moves-work/) for the stages. Connecticut leases and closings seldom match a Nevada move-out date. A wooden vault in our Sparks warehouse, from $40 per month, holds the household in between and ships on about 2 to 3 weeks of notice. ### Sources (checked October 18, 2026) - [Connecticut DMV - Transfer out-of-state registration](https://portal.ct.gov/dmv/vehicle-services/transfer-registration-ct) - [Connecticut Department of Revenue Services - 2025 CT-1040 instructions](https://portal.ct.gov/-/media/drs/forms/2025/income/2025-ct-1040-instructions_1225.pdf) - [NOAA NCEI U.S. Climate Normals 1991-2020](https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/land-based-station/us-climate-normals) - [U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey](https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs) ### Licensed movers U.S. DOT No. 30611 MC-109375 Nevada CPCN 1070 Cal PUC T-90973 (as published by O'Brien's) Bekins Van Lines interstate agent since 1955 [Check our USDOT record](https://safer.fmcsa.dot.gov/query.asp?searchtype=ANY&query_type=queryCarrierSnapshot&query_param=USDOT&query_string=30611) · [Ready to Move?

Our bed is a mechanical one and a nightmare to us, but these guys had no issue with it at all. Although I have no desire to ever move again--but if I did, I would be calling these guys for sure!!!
