What Arlington Movers Sort Out Before Moving Day
Arlington County requires a Moving Van/Container Permit to place a moving truck at the curb on a public street. You apply through Permit Arlington online, and the county requires it at least five business days before your desired date. You must pay the fee in full before the county issues the permit, and the county emails approved permits. The county will not issue a permit that conflicts with another permit holder, an event, or a business at the same spot, so apply as soon as you set your date.
Building rules matter as much as street rules here. Nearly half of Arlington households rent, and almost every household along the Rosslyn-Ballston corridor lives in multifamily housing. Before moving day, check with your building about freight elevator reservations, loading dock hours, and any paperwork management needs from your movers. Share those details with your move coordinator, and we plan the day around them.
Away from the Metro corridors, far fewer Arlington homes are in multifamily buildings. Those moves turn more on driveways, stairs, and street parking than on elevators.
Staying in Arlington or Leaving Virginia
Moving within Arlington, or to a nearby Northern Virginia city, is a local move. A move to D.C., Maryland, or any other state is an interstate move, and Regal is authorized for it under US DOT 1767696 and MC648853. Either way, you work with the same move coordinator from your first call to your last box.
