Redding sits at the head of the Sacramento Valley, with the Cascades and the Klamath country to the north and west. Census flows between Washoe and Shasta counties are small, and the margins of error exceed the estimates, so the honest summary is that some people move each way. This page covers the Shasta County end of the move. ## Redding is hot in summer and wet in winter The Redding airport station shows a January high of 57.2 degrees, a January low of 37.7, a July high of 99.9 and a July low of 67.0. Annual precipitation is 33.52 inches, and annual snowfall is 2.6 inches. That is more than four times the 7.35 inches of precipitation recorded at the Reno airport station. Rain shifts how you pack a garage: cardboard stored outside can soften, so keep it dry before loading. ## Homes and rents in Shasta County The American Community Survey lists Redding city at $382,300 for median home value, $1,379 for median gross rent and $70,466 for median household income, with 45.2 percent of households renting. The Redding metro's median home value is $366,400 and its median gross rent is $1,317. The Reno metro's survey median home value is $502,300. The difference is a published statistic for each area, and it is one reason a household may look north on the map. ## State rules that begin on arrival California DMV asks new residents for a California driver license within 10 days and vehicle registration within 20 days. Read the DMV new-resident page for the documents it asks for before you go. The statewide base sales and use tax is 7.25 percent, and some districts add up to 2.00 points. The Franchise Tax Board's 2025 schedule reaches 12.3 percent at the top bracket, while Nevada collects no individual income tax. ## How O'Brien's handles the booking After a free in-home estimate, which includes 10 free heavy-duty boxes, you book the move with O'Brien's. We coordinate it through the Bekins Van Lines network and the delivery window is in your written estimate. For the sequence of steps read [how an interstate move works](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/long-distance-moving/how-interstate-moves-work/). Winter weather on the Sierra crossing can shift calendars, so build a few extra days between your Reno move-out and your Redding move-in. Our Sparks warehouse holds the goods in vault storage from $40 per month during the gap. ### Sources (checked October 18, 2026) - [California DMV, New California Resident](https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/driver-education-and-safety/special-interest-driver-guides/new-to-california/) - [California Franchise Tax Board, 2025 Tax Rate Schedules](https://www.ftb.ca.gov/forms/2025/2025-540-tax-rate-schedules.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?
