Nashville is a Cumberland River city with a metro of Davidson, Williamson, Rutherford and neighboring counties. People moving from Reno often notice the state tax picture first, then the humidity. This page covers the Tennessee side.
The Tennessee Department of Revenue says new residents should register their vehicles within 30 days, and the Department of Safety says people with a license from another state must obtain a Tennessee license no later than 30 days after establishing residency.
Thirty days is enough if you book early. County clerk offices handle registration.
Tennessee has never taxed wages, and the Hall income tax on interest and dividends was repealed for tax periods beginning January 1, 2021. The general state sales tax rate is 7 percent, local rates can add up to 2.75 percent and food is taxed at 4 percent.
Because Nevada also has no income tax, the pay stub stays familiar. The shopping receipt is where you will notice the difference.
NOAA's normals for Nashville International show a January high of 49.1 degrees and low of 30.1, a July high of 90.9 and low of 70.5, 50.5 inches of precipitation and 4.7 inches of snow a year. The city is near 427 feet above sea level.
The air is humid for most of the year, which matters for wood furniture, instruments and stored paper.
The American Community Survey puts Nashville-Davidson at a median home value of $413,600, median gross rent of $1,586 and a renter share of 47.6 percent. The metro has a median home value of $409,600 and median gross rent of $1,528.
Those are medians published for geographies, not listings.

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.
Francie, Thank you for this amazing review. The result you have expressed is exactly what we all strive to accomplish. I love that you walked away knowing you are now a part of the O'Brien's family, whenever you need us we are a phone call away! I will let the movers know about the kind words expressed about them, that will be very satisfying for all of them. We will look forward to any referrals you send our way, thank you for the opportunity!
