Catching Up On New State Taxes

One of the main criteria to be aware of if you're relocating to another state is the various means in which money is collected by the state government. Or in other words, taxes. Before you start moving, make sure to educate yourself about any possible changes on your property and income taxes. Do not let the new state's sales tax surprise you as well.

Leaving Behind Appliances

Sadly, moving to a new home also means tidying up your old one. It's best to make a list of all of the different appliances that need your attention, like removing mildew and stains on appliances around the house, taking the water out of your dishwasher, and disconnecting the washing machine. Be aware that you're accountable for making sure your major appliances are disconnected. Movers won't do it for you due to insurance and safety reasons, so be sure to have your stove, washer, fridge, and any other appliance you may have readied for loading before starting to move.

Moving Your Firearms

Since the inception of the "Brady Bill" in the mid 90's, carriers under contract are permitted to move guns for their clients. Unsurprisingly, the service requires prospective clients to follow specific guidelines. Guns must be emptied of all ammunition and the particulars of every firearm (make, model, and serial number) must be incorporated into the inventory. Also, relocation experts will not ship your ammo for you. That is the responsibility of the owner. It's always a good plan to get familiar with local state legislation on the guidelines and regulations regarding gun safety.
