About 53 people a year move from New Jersey into Washoe County, and the state's 60-day motor vehicle deadline applies to people arriving there. or call [775-359-6683](tel:+17753596683) [4.3 on Google · 71 reviews](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/reviews/) Family owned since 1941 [U.S. DOT No. 30611](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/about/licenses-and-authority/) ## New Jersey and Nevada at a glance - Moved from New Jersey to Nevada in 2024 about 1,368 - Moved into Washoe County from New Jersey, per year about 53 - State capital Trenton - State individual income tax collected, FY2024 $18,880,484 thousand - Median household income (state) $103,556 - Median rent (state) $1,720 - Register a car after moving to New Jersey within 60 days (NJ Motor Vehicle Commission - Moving to NJ) - Get a New Jersey driver license after moving within 60 days (NJ Motor Vehicle Commission - Moving to NJ) - State income tax, top rate 10.75% (NJ Division of Taxation - NJ Income Tax Rates (and new2020.shtml)) - State sales tax, base rate 6.625% (NJ Division of Taxation - Rates and Boundaries) Data: [U.S. Census Bureau, State-to-State Migration Flows (ACS 1-year 2024)](https://www.census.gov/topics/population/migration/guidance/state-to-state-migration-flows.html); [U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2018-2022 state-to-county migration flows](https://www.census.gov/topics/population/migration/guidance/county-to-county-migration-flows.html); [U.S. Census Bureau, Annual Survey of State Government Tax Collections, FY2024](https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/stc.html); [U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024 5-year estimates](https://www.census.gov/data/developers/data-sets/acs-5year.html); [NJ Motor Vehicle Commission - Moving to NJ](https://www.nj.gov/mvc/drivertopics/movetonj.htm); [NJ Motor Vehicle Commission - Moving to NJ](https://www.nj.gov/mvc/drivertopics/movetonj.htm); [NJ Division of Taxation - NJ Income Tax Rates (and new2020.shtml)](https://www.nj.gov/treasury/taxation/taxtables.shtml); [NJ Division of Taxation - Rates and Boundaries](https://www.nj.gov/treasury/taxation/salestax.shtml). New Jersey is where I-80 begins. The interstate leaves the George Washington Bridge area, crosses Pennsylvania and the Midwest, and ends near Reno's doorstep, which makes the New Jersey to Reno trip one of the most direct in the country. ## Leaving New Jersey: what the MVC expects The New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission tells newcomers to transfer their out-of-state license and registration within 60 days of the move or before the current ones expire, whichever comes first. That rule is for people arriving in New Jersey. On your way out, turn in plates as your insurer requires and keep your New Jersey license valid until you get a Nevada one. ## Taxes: a high top rate and a single sales tax New Jersey's gross income tax runs up to 10.75 percent on income above $1 million, and the sales tax is a single 6.625 percent rate statewide. Nevada charges no state personal income tax. Property tax, not income tax, is often what New Jersey homeowners mention first, and our [Washoe County property tax guide](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/moving-to-reno/property-taxes/) explains the abatement cap that limits yearly increases. ## The household numbers The 2020 to 2024 American Community Survey lists New Jersey at about 9.34 million people, a median household income of $103,556, median gross rent of $1,720 and a median home value of $454,400; 36.2 percent of households rent. The Census estimate of people living in Nevada in 2024 who lived in New Jersey a year earlier is about 1,368, with a wide margin of error, so read it as a rough size. ## How the move works from New Jersey You book the move with O'Brien's. We coordinate it from your New Jersey home through the Bekins network, then handle delivery, unpacking and storage in Sparks. Apartments with elevators and tight townhouse stairs are common in the Northeast, and the in-home estimate is where those details get written down. Long-distance moves are priced by weight, and your written estimate sets the delivery window. Parking permits and elevator reservations on the New Jersey end are for you or your building manager to arrange, so ask early. Our [moving timeline](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/guides/moving-timeline/) shows what to schedule and when. ## Nevada in one short block Nevada gives new residents 30 days to register a car and get a Nevada license. Our [moving to Reno guide](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/moving-to-reno/) has the rest. ### Sources (checked October 18, 2026) - [New Jersey MVC, moving to New Jersey](https://www.nj.gov/mvc/drivertopics/movetonj.htm) - [New Jersey Division of Taxation, tax tables](https://www.nj.gov/treasury/taxation/taxtables.shtml) - [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?
