Lovelock sits at 3,977 feet on I-80, about 90.7 miles and 95 minutes from the Sparks warehouse, with ZIP code 89419. Just over 45 percent of households rent, and the Census Bureau puts the median age at 39.8. The town is small enough that one phone call to city hall or the county usually settles a question. ## The city runs water and trash The City of Lovelock's website has a Pay My Lovelock Water Bill link and posts holiday changes to trash service, so water and garbage are city accounts. Call city hall for what a new account needs and whether a deposit applies. Electric service is arranged through NV Energy's start, stop or transfer page. Keep your first bills; the DMV accepts a utility bill as a proof of address. ## Pershing County offices on Main Street Pershing County's Assessor lists 398 Main Street in Lovelock, and the county site has pages for the Recorder-Auditor and the Clerk-Treasurer, including how to change an address for property taxes. After a purchase, send your new mailing address to the Clerk-Treasurer so the bill reaches you. Lovelock's median year built is 1980 and 54.2 percent of homes are owner-occupied. Our [property tax guide](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/moving-to-reno/property-taxes/) explains Nevada's system. ## Pershing County School District Lovelock's public schools belong to Pershing County School District, the single district for the county. Contact the district office before arrival with your child's grade and previous school, and bring a birth certificate, immunization records and proof of address. Roughly 13.7 percent of residents moved in the past year in the Census Bureau's estimates, so school staff handle new arrivals regularly. ## The DMV is a drive away The Nevada DMV's list of rural offices includes Winnemucca at 3505 Construction Way and Fallon at 2147 W. Williams Avenue; Lovelock itself is not on the list. All offices require appointments and run 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays. You have 30 days to get a Nevada license and register your vehicle, so book as soon as you have two address proofs and Nevada insurance. See [driver license](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/moving-to-reno/drivers-license/) for the document list. ## Planning the drive from Sparks Lovelock is on I-80, and 88 of the 90.7 miles from our warehouse are on the interstate. Winter storms affect I-80, so check road conditions before travel.
