Florida is the far corner of the country from Reno, which makes this the page where distance matters more than any tax or deadline. Neither state taxes wages, so the money story is quieter than for most origins. What changes is the climate, the calendar and how the shipment crosses the country. ## Florida's 10-day rule and why it matters before you go Florida's Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles department says new residents must title and register vehicles within 10 days of establishing residency and obtain a Florida license within 30 days. Those windows describe arrivals. For a Floridian leaving, the lesson is to have your vehicle titles, insurance papers and a copy of your Florida registration in your carry-on documents folder, because Nevada will ask for them. If you own a car with a Florida lien, ask the lienholder early how a Nevada registration is handled. That step can take longer than anything else on your list. ## Taxes: no income tax at either end Florida levies no personal income tax, and its state sales tax rate is 6 percent, with county surtaxes added by the Florida Department of Revenue. Nevada also collects no state personal income tax. That means a Florida household will not see a jump in take-home pay from the move the way a California household would; compare housing and sales tax instead. The Census puts Florida's median home value at 359,000 dollars and median gross rent at 1,669 dollars a month. Our [Reno housing guide](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/moving-to-reno/housing-market/) shows the Washoe County numbers, and [the Nevada taxes page](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/moving-to-reno/taxes/) explains the sales and property tax side. ## A traffic pattern that runs the other way In the Census 2024 figures, about 9,338 people moved from Nevada to Florida against 6,293 the other way, so the net flow favors Florida. The margin of error on each Florida figure runs into the thousands, so read them as the shape of the flow, not an exact count. Reno will feel different from Florida in ways a map does not show: dry air, cold nights, wood smoke in some summers, and a nearby ski season. Our [weather by month](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/moving-to-reno/weather-and-climate/) and [wildfire smoke season](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/moving-to-reno/wildfire-smoke-season/) pages are the ones Floridians tend to need. ## How a Florida to Reno move works with O'Brien's With a distance of 2,700 miles or more from Jacksonville, Orlando, Tampa or Miami, this is a Bekins network move from end to end. You book with O'Brien's, we coordinate the shipment from your Florida home through the Bekins Van Lines network, and our crews in Sparks handle delivery and unpacking. Long-distance moves are priced by weight, and your written estimate sets the delivery window. Because a cross-country shipment and your arrival rarely line up on the same day, many Florida families use [storage between homes](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/full-service-storage/storage-between-moves/), with wooden vaults 7 ft x 7 ft x 5 ft in our Sparks warehouse; vault storage starts from $40 per month. The free in-home estimate comes with 10 free heavy-duty boxes. ## Nevada in one short block Nevada gives new residents 30 days to register a vehicle and 30 days to get a license, and it has no state personal income tax.
