Two states without an income tax

Wyoming's own figures show $0 collected from an individual income tax in fiscal 2024, and the statewide sales and use tax is 4 percent, with counties able to add local option taxes. Nevada has no state personal income tax either, so the question is the rest of the bill: sales tax, property tax and housing. See our cost of living page.

Wyoming's licensing rules

WYDOT says you have one year from the time you establish residency to get a Wyoming license, and that standard plates and registrations come through the county treasurer in the county seat. These rules are for arrivals. Going the other way, keep your Wyoming license valid until Nevada issues one.

The Census numbers

The 2020 to 2024 American Community Survey lists Wyoming at about 582,397 people, with a median household income of $76,176, median gross rent of $992 and a median home value of $309,700; 28.2 percent of households rent. Census county data put the flow into Washoe at about 46 a year over 2018 to 2022, though the margin of error is larger than that. State flows are too noisy to quote.

How the move works from Wyoming

You book the move with O'Brien's, and we coordinate it from your Wyoming home through the Bekins network, along the I-80 corridor. In Sparks we deliver, unpack and store when needed. Your written estimate sets the delivery window, with pricing by weight and an itemized written estimate.

The Mountain West routes page covers neighbors in the region. Wind and winter closures on I-80 are part of Wyoming life, and the winter moving guide covers timing.

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.

Francie H.

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. 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!
