Indianapolis comes with a tax picture that is easy to state: a single flat rate on income, a 7 percent sales tax with no local add-on, and a county layer on income. This page explains those destination rules along with housing, weather and the way O'Brien's plans a move from Sparks. ## Indiana's 60 days and its tax layers The Indiana BMV says new residents have 60 days to obtain an Indiana driver's license if they hold one from another state, and 60 days to apply for a vehicle title. That is generous, but plan the visit anyway: the license is the document that opens bank, school and insurance changes. Indiana's individual adjusted gross income tax rate is 2.95 percent for 2026, with 2.90 percent scheduled for 2027. Counties levy a separate local income tax on top. Sales tax is 7 percent statewide, and Indiana has no local sales tax, so the rate on a purchase is the same in every town. Nevada has no individual income tax, so ask an accountant how the year of the move is filed. ## Housing in the Indianapolis metro The American Community Survey lists a median home value of $265,900 for the Indianapolis-Carmel-Greenwood metro and $224,800 for the city. Median gross rent is $1,191 in the metro, and median household income is $79,852. The Reno metro medians are $502,300 for a home, $1,592 for rent and $87,485 for income for the same three measures. About 44 percent of households in the city rent. Medians describe an area and not a particular listing, but the gap is large enough that many households arriving from Reno plan a bigger home, and that is worth saying out loud at the in-home estimate. ## Climate at Eagle Creek NOAA's 1991-2020 normals for the Eagle Creek station list a January high of 36.4 degrees with a low of 21.2, and a July high of 85.2 with a low of 66.7. Annual precipitation is 40.67 inches. Reno's January high is 47.7 and its July high is 93.9. Winters are cold but the summer is the damper season for a truck to arrive in. Ask for a drop-off window that avoids the hottest part of the afternoon, and keep a fan and water for the crew in a box you open first. ## How the move works with O'Brien's The move is booked with O'Brien's. An estimator walks your Reno or Sparks home and gives a free, no-obligation in-home estimate, including 10 free heavy-duty boxes. Packing, loading and the shipment itself run 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 each step. Households leaving a Reno rental often have no address in Indiana yet. Storage in Sparks lets the move start on schedule while the search continues, with vault storage from $40 per month. ### Sources (checked October 18, 2026) - [Indiana BMV - New Indiana Residents](https://www.in.gov/bmv/licenses-permits-ids/new-indiana-residents) - [Indiana Department of Revenue - Rates, Fees & Penalties](https://www.in.gov/dor/resources/tax-rates-and-reports/rates-fees-and-penalties/) - [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?
