Data (read 2026-10-19): [U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024 5-year estimates](https://www.census.gov/data/developers/data-sets/acs-5year.html); [OSRM routing on OpenStreetMap data, free-flow drive from 2277 Glendale Ave, Sparks](https://project-osrm.org/); [USGS Elevation Point Query Service](https://apps.nationalmap.gov/epqs/).

Incline Village (ZIPs 89451 and 89450) sits at 6,823 feet, with a median home value around $1,454,600 in the Census estimate. SR 431 and SR 28 are the main roads, and winter weather matters for any move.

## IVGID: water, sewer and trash

The Incline Village General Improvement District, known as IVGID, provides water and sewer service and manages the trash contract for Incline Village and Crystal Bay. Waste Management collects the trash under a franchise agreement. Its Public Works page has a new-resident section and a homeowner packet that explains the ordinances. Electric service is provided by NV Energy.

## Washoe County offices

Incline Village is in Washoe County, so the Assessor, Recorder, Treasurer and Registrar of Voters serve it. Property values here draw close Assessor attention, so keep your closing paperwork. For building and land-use rules around the lake, the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency also matters.

## Schools

Public schools in Incline Village belong to the Washoe County School District, and the district places students by address. Winter road conditions can affect bus and school schedules, so read the district calendar when you plan your arrival.

## Where to handle DMV business

No DMV office operates at the lake on the state's list. Reno's office at 9155 Double Diamond Parkway is the metropolitan office, open Monday to Friday 8 am to 5 pm and Saturday 8 am to 4 pm, and Carson City is the other. Because 9.2 percent of residents moved from another state in the past year, which is a high share, expect an appointment queue. Online services reduce the trips; see the [license guide](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/moving-to-reno/drivers-license/).

## Seasonal homes and what they mean for a move

With 42 percent of housing units counted as seasonal or recreational, Incline Village has many second homes, and a house may sit closed for months. If you buy one, ask for the last utility statements and confirm which accounts are active. The Census figure for median year built is 1981, so older plumbing and heating are worth a look before the first winter.

## Moving over the mountain

The drive from the Sparks warehouse is about 33 miles and 48 minutes. Crews plan around snow, and the [winter driving guide](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/moving-to-reno/winter-driving/) explains chain controls. If a house closing falls in a storm week, vault storage from $40 per month keeps furniture safe in Sparks until the road clears. A [free in-home estimate](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/free-estimate/) covers the full house, and it includes 10 free heavy-duty boxes.
