Plan on one trip to the county complex at 1001 E. Ninth Street, one appointment at the Reno DMV, and a school enrollment through Washoe County School District. or call [775-359-6683](tel:+17753596683) [4.3 on Google · 71 reviews](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/reviews/) Family owned since 1941 [U.S. DOT No. 30611](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/about/licenses-and-authority/) ## Verdi by the numbers - Drive from our Sparks warehouse 13 mi, about 18 min via I-80, SR 425 - Population 1,012 - Households 527 - Homes owned / rented 89.2% / 10.8% - Median year built 1986 - Median home value $661,000 - Moved in the past year 0.6% - Elevation 4,873 ft - County Washoe County - ZIP codes 89439, 89523 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/). Verdi sits along I-80 west of Reno, about 12.7 miles and 18 minutes from our Sparks warehouse, at roughly 4,873 feet. Its two ZIP codes, 89439 and 89523, are the first thing to get right when you set up accounts, because a utility or a school lookup that uses the wrong one returns the wrong answer. This guide lists who to call, which office to visit and what each one needs. ## Power, water and trash start with your address Electric service in this part of Washoe County comes from NV Energy, which has a start, stop or transfer page on its website. Enter the street address you are moving to and the page shows what applies to that parcel. Do that a few days before your keys are in hand so the lights are on at the walk-through. Water and sewer vary by lot in a place like Verdi. Some homes sit on a public system and some on a private well and a septic tank. Ask the seller or the property manager which one yours uses, and ask for the well and septic paperwork if there is any. A well means no monthly water bill but your own maintenance; a septic tank has its own pumping schedule. Trash pickup is also set by address. Washoe County's own pages and our [trash and recycling guide](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/moving-to-reno/trash-and-recycling/) explain how collection is assigned in the county, and the seller can tell you the hauler on your street. ## School district: one district for all of Washoe County Washoe County School District covers every public school in the county, so a Verdi address enrolls through the district rather than through a separate local board. The district's website has enrollment instructions and a way to find the school that serves your address. Look up the address before you sign a lease, since attendance zones follow street addresses and not the town name. Bring proof of residence, the child's birth certificate and immunization records when you enroll. Our [Reno-area schools guide](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/moving-to-reno/schools/) covers the enrollment steps that apply across the county. ## County offices: the Washoe County complex in Reno Washoe County's Assessor and Recorder both list 1001 E. Ninth Street in Reno as their address. The Recorder holds your deed and any recorded liens or easements. The Assessor sets the value on which your property tax is based. If you are buying, ask the title company which documents were recorded; if you are renting, you will rarely need either office. Verdi's median home value is about $661,000 in the Census Bureau's 2020 to 2024 estimates, and 89.2 percent of households own. That is a high owner share, so most of your neighbors are long-term property owners. Read our [property tax guide](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/moving-to-reno/property-taxes/) before your first bill arrives. ## The Reno DMV office handles your license and plates Nevada gives new residents 30 days to get a Nevada driver license and to register a vehicle. The Nevada DMV lists its Reno office at 9155 Double Diamond Parkway, open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Friday and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, and every metropolitan office requires an appointment. The DMV asks for two proofs of Nevada residential address, such as a utility bill or a lease. That is why the power account comes first: a NV Energy bill in your name is the document most newcomers use. Nevada also requires Nevada evidence of insurance, so out-of-state insurance cards are not accepted. See the [driver license](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/moving-to-reno/drivers-license/) and [vehicle registration](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/moving-to-reno/vehicle-registration/) pages for the full list. ## A short order of operations Run the steps in this order and nothing waits on anything else. - Open the electric account at your new address. - Book the Reno DMV appointment; bring two address proofs and Nevada insurance. - Enroll children through Washoe County School District. - Ask the seller about well, septic and trash service. - Register to vote after you have your Nevada address on record. ### Sources (checked October 18, 2026) - [Washoe County Recorder](https://www.washoecounty.gov/recorder/) - [Washoe County Assessor](https://www.washoecounty.gov/assessor/) - [Washoe County School District](https://www.washoeschools.net/) - [Nevada DMV office locations](https://dmv.nv.gov/locat.htm) ### 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?

If I have another move, it will be O'Brien for sure!! ### Owner's reply WE ARE THRILLED TO HEAR THE MOVE WENT SO WELL!!!! Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to let us know. F Francie H. February 20, 2026 We were referred to O'Brien's Moving and Storage though a friend in Reno. We couldn't be more pleased with the Professionalism and Service. They were quick to set up Luke to come out and give us a quote and scheduled the actual move date right away. Luke was on time for our quote as were the movers on our moving day. All three of the gentlemen who moved us were professional and courteous from start to finish. From the initial phone call to the completion of our move, we felt like we were treated as family. We would definitely use them again and recommend O'Brien's Moving and Storage to our friends in the future. ### Owner's reply Francie, Thank you for this amazing review.
