Churchill County, whose site is churchillcountynv.gov, handles the Assessor, Recorder, Clerk and Treasurer. Fallon is the county seat, so most county offices are within town. ## A DMV office in town The Fallon DMV office is at 2147 W. Williams Ave, Fallon, NV 89406, open Monday to Friday 8 am to 5 pm. Appointments are required, and rural offices open slots within about a 24-hour window, so check the day before. This saves a drive to Reno. The [driver's license guide](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/moving-to-reno/drivers-license/) lists the documents. ## Schools: Churchill County School District Fallon students attend schools run by the Churchill County School District. Enrollment is by address, and the district asks for proof of residence and immunizations. If you are relocating for work at the base, contact the district early. ## Military families Naval Air Station Fallon employs many residents, and military household goods have separate booking rules through the installation transportation office. O'Brien's is DOD approved to move and store military household goods; see [military moves at NAS Fallon](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/military-moving/nas-fallon/). ## Who moves to Fallon Census data shows about 28.9 percent of Fallon householders moved in during 2020 or later, and 3.7 percent of residents lived in another state a year earlier. Rent runs about $1,230 a month in the Census estimate, so renters and buyers alike find it affordable compared with Reno. Check the [Nevada taxes guide](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/moving-to-reno/taxes/) for what a new Nevada resident should expect. ## Registering your vehicle in Fallon Bring Nevada evidence of insurance, because the DMV says out-of-state insurance is not accepted, plus your current registration, the odometer reading and any emissions report the vehicle requires. Churchill County vehicles may have different emissions rules than Washoe County, so use the DMV's emissions checker before the appointment. ## Utilities and the move Contact the city for water and sewer, and ask the seller about electric and garbage providers for the address. Lower home prices than Reno draw buyers from the Truckee Meadows, and a [free in-home estimate](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/free-estimate/) from the Sparks yard comes with 10 free heavy-duty boxes. The route east on US 50 Alternate and I-80 is straightforward. ### Sources (checked October 18, 2026) - [Nevada DMV, office locations](https://dmv.nv.gov/locat.htm) - [City of Fallon](https://www.fallonnevada.gov/) - [Churchill County, Nevada](https://www.churchillcountynv.gov/) ### 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?
