Silver Springs sits at 4,172 feet on US 50 and SR 439, using ZIP code 89429, about 43.9 miles and 67 minutes from the Sparks warehouse. It is a Lyon County community with a median age of 56.4 and 84.8 percent owner households. Its services are county services, and this guide lists them in the order you will need them. ## Lyon County Utilities and the sewer account Lyon County's website says its Utilities Department provides sewer service for Silver Springs, and water for Smith Valley and Dressler Park. For a Silver Springs address, begin by asking Lyon County Utilities about the sewer account and whether your parcel is connected to the system. Ask separately who supplies your drinking water. Some lots here use wells, so request the well records and the date of the last water test from the seller. A utility bill for sewer in your name also counts as a proof of address at the DMV. ## Electric, heating fuel and trash Start electric service through NV Energy's start, stop or transfer page. Winter heating costs vary with the fuel, so ask the seller for twelve months of bills. For trash, ask the seller or the county which hauler serves your road, because rural collection routes are set by address. A median year built of 1993 means many Silver Springs homes are newer than those in older Nevada towns, which tends to mean modern wiring and insulation. A home inspection still tells you more than a median. ## Lyon County School District and the county offices Lyon County School District serves the area, and its website has an enrollment page. In the Census Bureau's estimates, 10.2 percent of residents moved in the past year, so enrollment staff see new families regularly. Lyon County's Assessor, Clerk-Treasurer and Recorder have pages on the county website, including records portals. Use the Recorder for deeds and the Assessor for the value of your parcel. Our [property tax guide](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/moving-to-reno/property-taxes/) explains how the bill is built. ## DMV: Fallon, Yerington or Carson City The Nevada DMV lists rural offices in Fallon at 2147 W. Williams Avenue and Yerington at 215 W. Bridge Street, Suite 9, and the Carson City office at 555 Wright Way. All require appointments, and the rural offices run 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays. Pick the one that fits your commute and book ahead. You have 30 days after becoming a resident to get a Nevada license and register your vehicle. Bring two proofs of Nevada address and Nevada insurance. ## Distance planning The route from Sparks runs on I-80 and then SR 439, about 67 minutes in normal conditions. Winter weather on US 50 and SR 439 can slow that, so build a buffer into any plan that depends on arriving at a set hour.
