Pro tip: Book ahead as far as possible to get the best rates!

Tip 1: Declutter Ahead of Time

Before moving day, take the time to sort, donate, and discard items you no longer need. Decluttering reduces moving costs by cutting down on the number of boxes and furniture you have to transport.

Local donation centers:

For bulk waste, check Leon County’s bulk pickup schedule or drop items off at the Leon County Solid Waste Facility. By planning ahead, you’ll save both time and money on moving day.

Tip 2: Keep Hurricane Season In Mind

Hurricane season in Florida runs from June to November, and storms can certainly disrupt moving plans. If you’re relocating during these months, keep an eye on the National Hurricane Center's forecast and have a backup plan in case of bad weather.

It’s also smart to pack an emergency kit with essentials like bottled water, flashlights, and important documents in case of unexpected delays. If you’re moving near the coast, check local flood zones and ensure your new home is prepared for severe weather.

Tip 3: Factor in College & School Schedules

Tallahassee is home to Florida State University (FSU), Florida A&M University (FAMU), and Tallahassee Community College, making August and May peak moving months due to student turnover.

If possible, schedule your move outside of these busy periods to avoid higher costs and traffic congestion. Families with school-aged children should plan around the Leon County School District’s calendar to ensure a smooth transition.

Frequently Asked Moving Questions in Tallahassee

You've got moving questions — we’ve got answers. Learn what to expect when moving in Tallahassee.

Several factors impact moving costs, including home size, distance, and seasonal demand. Larger homes require more movers and time, increasing labor costs. Moves during peak seasons—summer and weekends—tend to be pricier due to higher demand. Additional services like packing, storage, and specialty item handling (pianos, antiques, or large furniture) also add to the total cost. Booking early and choosing a weekday can help reduce expenses.

The absolute cheapest way to move is to do everything yourself. But that takes a lot of time and exhausting effort. To save money, consider hiring labor-only movers and renting a truck instead. Moving on a weekend and in the off-season can help you secure the lowest rates. Borrowing moving supplies, decluttering before your move, and comparing quotes from multiple movers can also cut costs significantly.

If you’re moving to or from downtown Tallahassee, you may need a parking permit for a moving truck. Some apartment complexes and neighborhoods also have restrictions. Check with the City of Tallahassee Parking Services or your property manager to avoid fines or towing issues. It’s best to reserve a legal parking spot in advance, especially for large moving trucks.

For the best availability and rates, book movers at least 4-6 weeks ahead (even more during peak times on weekends and the summer months) and the beginning or end of the month. If you need to move last minute, some moving companies offer same-day or next-day services, but expect to pay higher prices. Planning ahead gives you more choices and ensures you get a reliable moving crew.

To avoid congestion, schedule your move during mid-morning or mid-afternoon on a weekday. Tallahassee’s traffic is heaviest during rush hours (7-9am and 4-6pm) and on game days when Florida State University plays football games. Checking local traffic reports and avoiding peak moving dates (like student move-in weekends) can make your move smoother.
