Where DC Movers Land in Atlanta

Midtown and Buckhead. High-rise apartments and condos with service elevators and move rules. Book the elevator and send the building’s insurance certificate request to us early.

Decatur and intown neighborhoods. Older bungalows and tree-lined streets close to the city. Narrow driveways and street parking make truck placement the main question.

Marietta, Alpharetta, and the northern suburbs. Larger single-family homes, often in HOA communities. Ask your HOA about truck and container rules before moving day.

Leaving DC. If the truck parks on a DC street, you need DDOT’s Emergency No Parking signs, ordered through the TOPS permit system. Using a portable container instead? DDOT’s moving container rules require a public space permit, cap it at five days, and allow up to two weeks for review when it is not approved automatically.

Georgia New-Resident Deadlines

Driver license within 30 days. Per Georgia DDS, apply within 30 days of becoming a resident.
Vehicle registration within 30 days. The Georgia Department of Revenue requires registration within 30 days of moving.
Budget for TAVT. New residents pay a Title Ad Valorem Tax of 3% of the vehicle’s fair market value when they title it in Georgia.

Jon Van

Fast, adaptive, professional, high value support and execution. Request for quote responded to within 24 hours. I had a unique move requirement and they were able to adapt to the requirement and quickly change their norms and standard pricing which would have otherwise made the request financially infeasible. On the day of, the mover came with multiple tools and equipment to be able to adapt to whatever challenges they were faced with. They operated safely taking into account and clearly communicating needs to maintain safety for occupants, the movers and the property. The move was completed faster than expected. Pricing was clear and up front and payment was easy. Recommend to any and all who may be in need of their services.
