Nebraska and Reno share an interstate. I-80 crosses Nebraska from Omaha to the Wyoming line, then continues through Utah into Nevada, so a Nebraska household is already pointed our way. ## What to wrap up in Nebraska Nebraska's DMV gives a newcomer 30 days to get a Nebraska title and registration and 30 days to get a Nebraska license. Those clocks apply to people arriving in Nebraska, but they hint at what the state expects on the way out: your Nebraska plates and license stay valid until you turn them in, so plan the handover when you set up Nevada ones. Before the truck leaves, move your utilities, update your address with your insurer and ask your county treasurer how a final vehicle tax bill is handled. If you will file a part-year Nebraska return, a tax professional can confirm how your move date affects it. ## Taxes: 4.55 percent top rate, 5.5 percent sales tax For tax year 2026 the Nebraska Department of Revenue lists 4.55 percent for its third and fourth brackets, and current law lowers that to 3.99 percent from tax year 2027. The state sales and use tax is 5.5 percent, and cities and counties may add 0.5 to 2 percent. Nevada collects no state personal income tax. Our [Nevada taxes guide](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/moving-to-reno/taxes/) explains what Nevada does collect. ## Nebraska households in the Census numbers The 2020 to 2024 American Community Survey puts Nebraska at about 1.98 million people, with a median household income of $76,475, median gross rent of $1,072 and a median home value of $238,600. About 33.5 percent of households rent. If you own in Omaha or Lincoln, set that home value beside the Reno figures on our [housing market page](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/moving-to-reno/housing-market/). Census estimates put the flow from Nebraska into Washoe County at about 163 people a year over 2018 to 2022. Single-year state counts for Nebraska are small and swing widely, so we quote the five-year county figure. ## How the move works from Nebraska You book the move with O'Brien's. We coordinate it from your Nebraska home through the Bekins network, and the van line carries your things west along the I-80 corridor. On arrival we deliver, unpack and, if your Reno closing is still days away, hold your goods in our Sparks warehouse. Your written estimate sets the delivery window. The in-home estimate is free and comes with 10 free heavy-duty boxes. Long-distance moves are priced by weight, with an itemized written estimate. The [estimate guide](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/guides/binding-vs-non-binding-estimates/) explains how that differs from other estimate types. ## Nevada in one short block New Nevada residents have 30 days to register a car and get a Nevada license, and many Washoe County vehicles need an emissions check.
