Minnesota is a state with a high top tax rate and a famously cold winter, so Reno's climate and tax picture draws many households. About 1,100 people living in Nevada in 2024 had lived in Minnesota a year earlier, per Census estimates. ## Minnesota's 60 days Minnesota Driver and Vehicle Services says people who recently moved to Minnesota have 60 days to register a passenger vehicle, and state law lets a person with a valid out-of-state license drive for 60 days. Those rules apply to arrivals. Leaving, cancel Minnesota registration after Nevada's is issued and keep your title. ## Four brackets up to 9.85 percent Minnesota's 2026 income tax rates are 5.35, 6.80, 7.85 and 9.85 percent, with the top rate starting at $203,151 for single filers. The state sales tax is 6.875 percent with local additions. Nevada collects no state income tax on wages. For higher earners this is the most notable financial difference in the move. Ask a tax professional about a part-year return. The Census housing numbers in our [cost-of-living compare](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/tools/cost-of-living-compare/) tool show the other side of the budget. ## Moving from the Twin Cities or beyond You book the move with O'Brien's, and we coordinate it from your Minnesota home through the Bekins network. The [Minneapolis to Reno route page](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/long-distance-moving/routes/minneapolis-to-reno/) prints the drive and the numbers at both ends. In Sparks our crews deliver, unpack and store. Your written estimate sets the delivery window. Minnesota garages hold snowblowers, ice-fishing gear and cabin furniture. Tell the estimator what is going and what is staying, since weight sets the price on a long-distance move. ## Nevada on arrival Thirty days for a license and registration, no state income tax on wages. The [moving to Reno guide](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/moving-to-reno/) has the rest. ## Winter on the road Minnesotans know winter driving, but a truck crossing the Sierra can meet chain controls on I-80.
