Kansas receives more Nevadans than it sends: the Census 2024 estimate is about 1,103 people moving from Nevada to Kansas and about 437 moving the other way, though in 2023 the count was near 2,049. The state's long windows give a family room to settle.
Ninety days, with a catch
The Kansas Department of Revenue says application for Kansas title and registration is required when a vehicle has been located in Kansas for up to 90 days or more, including frequent absences. For licenses, it gives 90 days after establishing residency.
Bring your Nevada title or registration, proof of insurance and identification to the county treasurer for the vehicle and a driver's license office for the license.
Two income tax rates
Kansas charges 5.20 percent on lower incomes and 5.58 percent above a set threshold for a single filer, rates set by a 2024 special session and unchanged for 2026. The state sales tax is 6.5 percent, with local sales taxes on top, and food is taxed at a reduced state rate.
Nevada has no state personal income tax, so wages will be taxed in Kansas.
Housing and where people land
Kansas's median home value is 217,200 dollars, its median gross rent is 1,060 dollars a month and its median household income is 74,275 dollars. About 113 people a year left Washoe County for Kansas in county data, and about 39 came the other way.
Most arrivals settle around the Kansas City metro; see Reno to Kansas City for the route.
How the move works
O'Brien's books your move in Sparks and coordinates it through the Bekins network. A free estimate at your home comes with 10 free heavy-duty boxes, itemized and in writing, and the written estimate sets the delivery window. Long-distance moves are priced by weight, so a clear-out before the estimate can matter.
Our vault storage, from $40 per month, holds the extra while you settle. See the moving out of Nevada guide for the other states. Call 775-359-6683 on a weekday between 8 am and 5 pm for a phone ballpark.

What customers say about O'Brien's
Michelle C.
Extremely happy with the moving experience. The moving team showed up on time, friendly and polite. They did a wonderful job moving our boxes and furniture to the new location. We moved a three bedroom home and I could not be more pleased with the employees who assisted with the move. Highly recommend O'Brien moving for your move.
Owner's reply
Michelle, thank you so much for taking the time to write this review. We are so happy to hear about the move experience you had with our company and glad to know we met your expectations! It means a lot to us to know that. Thank you for choosing us as your moving partner.
Sonia P.
Talk about organized people. I peeked in the truck about an hour into the job and was amazed at how well organized it was and how many of my things had protective coverings. Our bed is a mechanical one and a nightmare to us, but these guys had no issue with it at all. Although I have no desire to ever move again--but if I did, I would be calling these guys for sure!!!
