Wyoming is the least populous state, about 582,000 people, and I-80 crosses its southern edge through Cheyenne, Laramie, Rawlins and Rock Springs on the way to Utah and Nevada. ## Two states without an income tax Wyoming's own figures show $0 collected from an individual income tax in fiscal 2024, and the statewide sales and use tax is 4 percent, with counties able to add local option taxes. Nevada has no state personal income tax either, so the question is the rest of the bill: sales tax, property tax and housing. See our [cost of living page](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/moving-to-reno/cost-of-living/). ## Wyoming's licensing rules WYDOT says you have one year from the time you establish residency to get a Wyoming license, and that standard plates and registrations come through the county treasurer in the county seat. These rules are for arrivals. Going the other way, keep your Wyoming license valid until Nevada issues one. ## The Census numbers The 2020 to 2024 American Community Survey lists Wyoming at about 582,397 people, with a median household income of $76,176, median gross rent of $992 and a median home value of $309,700; 28.2 percent of households rent. Census county data put the flow into Washoe at about 46 a year over 2018 to 2022, though the margin of error is larger than that. State flows are too noisy to quote. ## How the move works from Wyoming You book the move with O'Brien's, and we coordinate it from your Wyoming home through the Bekins network, along the I-80 corridor.
