North Dakota is a small origin by population, at about 785,000 people. A North Dakota move to Reno can start on a ranch, in a small town or in Fargo, and each one needs its own plan for the first week of the move. ## Taxes: already low, now compared North Dakota's 2025 rate schedule has a 0 percent bracket up to $48,475 of taxable income for single filers, 1.95 percent up to $244,825 and 2.5 percent above that, according to the state tax department. The sales tax is 5 percent on most retail sales. Nevada has no state personal income tax at all, but the difference is small enough that sales tax, property tax and housing costs matter more. Our [cost of living page](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/moving-to-reno/cost-of-living/) shows how those compare. ## The North Dakota Highway Patrol rules The North Dakota Highway Patrol says vehicles must be registered when residency is established or when employment is accepted, whichever comes first, and that an out-of-state noncommercial license stays usable for 60 days after you become a resident. Going the other way, keep your North Dakota license valid until a Nevada one is issued. ## What the Census says about North Dakota The 2020 to 2024 American Community Survey lists North Dakota at about 784,841 people, with a median household income of $76,657, median gross rent of $954 and a median home value of $249,900; 37.1 percent of households rent. The Census estimates about 880 people moved from North Dakota to Nevada in 2024, but the margin of error is large, so use it as a rough size only. ## How the move works from North Dakota You book the move with O'Brien's, and we coordinate it from your North Dakota home through the Bekins network, which reaches towns that a local mover might not serve. We then handle delivery, unpacking and storage in Sparks, and your written estimate sets the delivery window. Long-distance moves are priced by weight, with an itemized written estimate. The [East and Midwest routes page](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/long-distance-moving/routes/east-and-midwest/) covers the Plains origins that do not have a page of their own. ## Winter and distance A North Dakota winter can close roads for days, which affects when a van can load. Our [winter moving guide](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/guides/moving-in-winter/) explains how to build slack into your schedule. ## Nevada in one short block Nevada gives new residents 30 days to register a car and get a Nevada license.
