Inform Businesses of Your Address Change

Before you move, there are a few people, offices, and businesses you should notify about your address change outside your family. The most obvious is the post office. Post offices often offer a forwarding service for your mail where for all intents and purposes, any mail that is sent to your old address will be forwarded to your new one. However, the forwarding address only lasts for a limited time, so it's best that you notify everyone who needs to know as soon as possible. Other companies you should get in touch with include: your utility provider.

Thinking About New State Taxes

One of the major criteria to be aware of if you are moving to a different state is the different ways in which money is collected by the state government. Or in other words, taxes. Before you start moving, be certain to get informed about all potential adjustments on your property and income taxes. Don't allow your new state's sales tax catch you off guard as well.

Cleaning Appliances

Sadly, relocating to a new area also means cleaning your old one. It's a good idea to create lists of all of the various appliances that need your consideration, like removing mildew and stains on appliances around the house, draining your dishwasher, and disconnecting the washing machine. Be aware that you're accountable for the disconnection of your major appliances. Your moving company 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.
