St. Louis straddles the Mississippi, and the metro includes counties in Illinois as well as Missouri. That means a household choosing a side of the river also chooses a state. This page covers the Missouri rules and numbers. ## Missouri license first The Missouri Department of Revenue says that as soon as you establish residency, you must apply and pay for a Missouri driver license. A rule of the department says to title and register all vehicles within 30 days. If you land on the Illinois side of the metro, Illinois rules apply instead. Check the state of your new address. ## Missouri taxes The Department of Revenue lists a 2026 top income tax rate of 4.7 percent, with further reductions only if revenue triggers are met. The state sales tax rate is 4.225 percent, and local taxes add to it. The St. Louis city earnings tax is a separate local item for residents and workers, so ask your employer's payroll team. ## A humid continental climate NOAA's normals for the Cahokia St. Louis downtown station show a January high of 40.2 degrees and low of 24.1, a July high of 89.0 and low of 68.8, and 40.8 inches of precipitation a year. Summers are humid and winters see freezing nights. The St. Louis area sits near 467 feet above sea level, far below Reno. ## St. Louis housing The American Community Survey puts the city of St. Louis at a median home value of $197,500, median gross rent of $997 and a renter share of 54.7 percent. The St. Louis metro has a median home value of $244,800 and rent of $1,113. Census flows for 2016-2020 show about 59 people a year moving from the St. Louis counties to Washoe County, and about 53 moving the other way, within a wide margin of error. ## Choosing a side of the river St. Louis households choose between Missouri and Illinois when they pick an address, and that choice sets the DMV rules, income tax and school district. Decide the state before you book a license appointment. After that, the first week covers the Missouri license, the vehicle title, utilities and the earnings tax if you live or work in the city. ## How O'Brien's takes you to St. Louis You book with O'Brien's in Sparks.

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.
