Delaware is a small state with a very different tax shape from Nevada: no sales tax, but an income tax. A move west flips that arrangement, and it is worth knowing before you budget for your new home. ## Delaware's 60 days, and why they do not carry over The Delaware DMV tells new residents to title and register vehicles and apply for a license within 60 days of becoming a Delaware resident. That period is how long people arriving in Delaware have. Nevada gives people arriving 30 days, so the Delaware number is no help once you cross the border. Leaving Delaware, close out the vehicle side by keeping your Delaware title for the Nevada DMV and cancelling the Delaware tag only after Nevada plates are in hand if your insurer asks for that. ## Taxes: no sales tax, an income tax, and then the reverse Delaware's top personal income tax rate is 6.6 percent on taxable income above $60,000, a rate in place since tax year 2014. The state has no sales tax. Nevada reverses both: no state personal income tax, and a sales tax that in Washoe County is paid at the register. For a household that spends heavily on goods, the sales tax matters. For a household with a large salary, the missing income tax matters more. Our [cost-of-living compare](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/tools/cost-of-living-compare/) tool shows the Census cost figures behind each metro. ## What a Delaware-to-Nevada move looks like Delaware sits within reach of the Philadelphia and Baltimore routes, and our route pages for [Philadelphia](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/long-distance-moving/routes/philadelphia-to-reno/) and [Baltimore](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/long-distance-moving/routes/baltimore-to-reno/) show what a cross-country drive involves. You book the move with O'Brien's, we coordinate it from your Delaware home through the Bekins network, and then we handle delivery, unpacking and any storage in Sparks. A delivery window comes from your written estimate, not from a general promise. The [delivery spread guide](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/guides/delivery-spread-explained/) explains why long-distance deliveries are a window and not a single day. ## Settling in Nevada A Nevada license and registration are due within 30 days. Nevada has no personal income tax on wages. See the [moving to Reno guide](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/moving-to-reno/) for housing, utilities and schools. ## Questions Delaware movers raise Many Delaware households are close to the ocean and move with outdoor furniture, bicycles and boats on trailers. Ask your estimator about each item at the in-home visit. Auto transport with a move is part of the service list, and vehicles that you drive yourself should be registered in Nevada within the 30-day window. ### Sources (checked October 18, 2026) - [Delaware DMV, guidelines for new residents](https://dmv.de.gov/forms/veh_serv_forms/pdfs/ve_frm_newresid.pdf) - [Delaware Division of Revenue, tax rate changes](https://revenue.delaware.gov/software-developer/tax-rate-changes/) - [Nevada Revised Statutes 482.385 (vehicle registration)](https://www.leg.state.nv.us/NRS/NRS-482.html) - [U.S. Census Bureau, State-to-State Migration Flows](https://www.census.gov/topics/population/migration/guidance/state-to-state-migration-flows.html) ### 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?

Call [775-359-6683](tel:+17753596683), Mon-Fri 8-5, or see the [moving FAQ](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/faq/). ### Does Nevada have a sales tax like Delaware's lack of one? Nevada has a state sales tax and Washoe County adds its own, so it differs from Delaware, which has none. Nevada does not tax wages at the state level. ### How long until I need Nevada plates? Nevada's statute gives 30 days after becoming a resident, or until you get a Nevada license, whichever is earlier. Plan one DMV visit for both. ### Can O'Brien's move a car with my household? Yes. Auto transport with a move is available. Mention vehicles to the estimator so the written estimate lists them. ## 4.3 stars from 71 Google reviews What customers say about O'Brien's [Read more reviews](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/reviews/)[See them on Google](https://maps.google.com/maps?cid=17335326057105140938) N Nicole B.
