Tennessee does not tax wages, so a Reno household keeps that familiar feature, and it adds a very wet climate. This page covers the Memphis end: Census housing data, Tennessee's 30 day deadlines, what NOAA records for the river city and how O'Brien's plans the shipment. ## Memphis housing in the Census data The American Community Survey puts the median home value in the city of Memphis at $169,000, median gross rent at $1,181 and median household income at $51,736. For the Memphis, TN-MS-AR metro the medians are $245,900 for a home, $1,220 for rent and $66,401 for income. Reno's metro medians are $502,300 for a home, $1,592 for rent and $87,485 for income. More than half of city households rent, at 55.1 percent, while the metro figure is 39.5 percent. The metro spreads across three states, so the address matters: Tennessee rules apply on the Memphis side. ## Heat, humidity and rain NOAA's 1991-2020 normals for Memphis International Airport list a January high of 50.9 degrees with a low of 33.3, and a July high of 91.9 with a low of 73.6. Annual precipitation is 54.94 inches, and snow averages 2.7 inches. Reno's July high is 93.9. Warm July nights, around 74 degrees at the low, mean a crew works in sticky air. Plan the day around an early start, and keep sealed boxes of books, photographs and papers off the floor in the first weeks. ## Tennessee's 30-day deadlines and tax picture The Tennessee Department of Revenue says new residents should register within 30 days, and the Department of Safety and Homeland Security says a new resident with an out-of-state license must obtain a Tennessee license no later than 30 days after establishing residency. Those state sites sometimes block automated readers, so check the current wording yourself. Tennessee never taxed wages, and the Hall income tax on interest and dividends was repealed for tax periods beginning in 2021 or later. The general state sales tax rate is 7 percent, and local rates set by counties and cities cannot exceed 2.75 percent. Nevada also has no individual income tax, and a tax professional can still help with the move year. ## How the move works with O'Brien's You book the move with O'Brien's, and an estimator comes to your Reno or Sparks home for a free, no-obligation in-home estimate. Ten free heavy-duty boxes come with it. We coordinate the shipment 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/). A lease that starts after your Reno move-out is common. A wooden vault in our Sparks warehouse, from $40 per month, holds the household until you are ready, and goods ship on about 2 to 3 weeks of notice. ### Sources (checked October 18, 2026) - [Tennessee Department of Revenue - VR-6](https://revenue.support.tn.gov/hc/en-us/articles/360060097552-VR-6-New-Residents-Should-Register-Within-30-Days) - [Tennessee Department of Revenue - Hall Income Tax](https://www.tn.gov/revenue/taxes/hall-income-tax.html) - [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?
