Moving Checklist…
for local moves
Plan Ahead By:
Don’t Forget To:
Cancel or transfer deliveries, newspaper, garbage collection, etc.
Coordinate the transfer of gas, electric, water, and sewer with the
next occupant of your old home, as well as with the previous
owner of your next home so as to avoid lapses in service
and extra restart expenses.
Make arrangement for transporting your plants and pets.
Transfer insurance policies or arrange for new policies.
Gather all valuables, jewelry, important papers (birth certificates,
deeds, documents) to take with you personally.
Get refunds from your present utility and phone companies, and
arrange for service at your new home.
Purchase moving insurance. Your mover’s liability for lost or
damaged goods will not equal their replacement cost.
Appraise valuable items, such as, antiques, art pieces, etc.
Ask for professional referrals if available
(i.e. doctor, accountant, etc.).
Change these addresses: post office, charge accounts,
subscriptions (at least four weeks in advance), relatives and
friends, national and alumni organizations, church, mail-order
clubs (books, tapes, catalogues), firms with which you have time
payments, past employer in order to receive your W-2 forms, etc.
Save your old address labels to speed up your change-of-address
forms.
Deciding what to move
and what not to move.
Possibly plan a garage
sale - extra cash, less to
move!
Getting estimates from
several moving
companies/truck
rental
companies.
Be sure to obtain a hand
truck (appliance dolly) if
you’re moving yourself.
Arranging transfer of
children’s school records,
if applicable.
Drawing up a floor plan
of where your furniture
should be placed to avoid
confusion for you and
your movers.
Arranging any special
movers, such as for an
expensive piano or to
break down and move a
pool table or aboveground swimming pool.
