Minnesota gives a new resident 60 days to register a vehicle and a 60-day driving window on an out-of-state license, and its top income tax rate for 2026 is 9.85 percent. About 1,409 people moved from Nevada to Minnesota in the Census 2024 survey, above the 1,132 estimated to have moved the other way.
Minnesota is one of the few states on the map where the 2024 survey estimates more people left Nevada for it than arrived from it. The tax step is steep, because Nevada has no state personal income tax and Minnesota's top bracket is 9.85 percent. This page gives the official deadlines, the rates and the shape of the move.

Sixty days to register, and a license window
Minnesota's Driver and Vehicle Services says that if you recently moved to Minnesota you have 60 days to register your passenger vehicle, motorcycle, utility trailer or house trailer. Minnesota statute 171.03 gives a new resident with a valid out-of-state license a 60-day driving window, though an older DVS FAQ said 30, so confirm the figure at a license counter.
Expired registrations and commercial vehicles must be registered immediately. Bring your Nevada title, proof of insurance and proof of your Minnesota address.
Four brackets, topping at 9.85 percent
Minnesota Department of Revenue lists tax year 2026 rates of 5.35, 6.80, 7.85 and 9.85 percent. The top bracket begins at 203,151 dollars for a single filer and 337,931 dollars for married couples filing jointly. The state sales tax is 6.875 percent.
Most households fall in the lower brackets, but any wage is new money going to the state for a Nevada arrival. Ask a tax professional about a part-year return for your move year.
Housing and income, from the Census
In the Census American Community Survey, Minnesota's median household income is 89,062 dollars, its median gross rent is 1,280 dollars a month and its median home value is 329,300 dollars. St. Paul is the capital, though the Minneapolis metro is where most moving traffic ends. Winters there are long, and the time of year you move matters for the truck as well as for you.

Sparks to Minnesota with O'Brien's
You book with O'Brien's in Sparks. A free in-home estimate prices the move by weight and includes 10 free heavy-duty boxes, packing and loading happen in Northern Nevada, and the Bekins network carries the shipment. Your written estimate sets the delivery window.
The Reno to Minneapolis route page has the drive, the passes and the facts at both ends. Winter arrival means the unloading area may need to be cleared of snow, a detail worth passing to your estimator when you book.
How a long-distance move works with a Bekins agent
O'Brien's Moving & Storage has been an agent for Bekins Van Lines since 1955. On an interstate move the Bekins network carries your shipment under the van line's interstate system; O'Brien's books the move in either direction. Leaving Northern Nevada, we give the free in-home estimate, pack, store in our Sparks warehouse if you need it, and load. Moving here from another state, you book with us and we coordinate the move from your origin through the Bekins network, then handle delivery, unpacking and storage in Sparks. Your written estimate sets the delivery window. What being a Bekins agent means.

3 O'Brien movers came down from Reno to South Lake Tahoe to assist our company moving a lot of big furniture out of a large warehouse. They showed up on-time, were friendly, and were professional and got the job done quickly and diligently. Will definitely use them again.
