Salt Lake City Moving Checklist

    moving company Plan, pack, and move stress-free with Moving Connections - Salt Lake City’s trusted local and long-distance movers.

    Moving in or around Salt Lake City, Utah? Whether you’re relocating to Sandy, Draper, Murray, Sugar House, or West Valley City, this step-by-step moving checklist will help you stay organized and make your move efficient, affordable, and stress-free.

    Let Moving Connections, one of the most trusted moving companies in Salt Lake City, take care of every detail — so you can focus on settling into your new home.

    One Month Before Your Move

  • 1. Book Your Salt Lake City Movers Early
    Reserve your move at least four weeks in advance for the best availability. Moving Connections is proud to serve Salt Lake City, Sandy, Draper, Murray, Sugar House, and West Valley City. If we’re fully booked, we can connect you with other reliable Utah movers.

  • 2. Buy Quality Moving Supplies
    Get boxes, tape, labels, and packing paper. Starting early helps you stay organized and reduces stress.

  • 3. Declutter and Downsize Before You Move
    Sort through closets, the garage, and storage spaces. Donate, sell, or recycle items you no longer need. Less clutter = less cost!

  • 4. Donate Locally in Salt Lake City
    We can help you arrange donations to local charities like The Road Home, Utah Food Bank, or Deseret Industries. You may even be able to write off your donations - just check with your tax advisor.

  • 5. Handle School Transfers
    If your children attend schools in the Salt Lake City, Canyons, or Granite School Districts, start the transfer and registration process early.

  • 6. Change Your Address
    File your change of address with the Salt Lake City Post Office or online at USPS.com.

  • 7. Notify Key Organizations
    Update your address with your employer, banks, credit card companies, insurance providers, and utility companies.



    • One to Two Weeks Before the Move

  • 1. Pack an Essentials Box
    Include toiletries, medication, snacks, chargers, and clothes for the final days and your first night in the new home.

  • 2. Label Boxes Clearly by Room
    Label each box with its destination room (e.g., Living Room, Bedroom, Kitchen). This helps our Salt Lake City movers place items correctly — saving you time and effort later.

  • 3. Schedule Utility Transfers
    Schedule disconnections for gas, water, electricity, internet, and cable at your old home, and start dates at your new address in Salt Lake City, Sandy, or Draper.

  • 4. Plan for Cleaning
    If you need post-move cleaning, Moving Connections can arrange local cleaning services in Salt Lake City, Murray, and West Valley City.

    • The Week of the Move

  • 1. Confirm Address Updates
    Make sure all mail forwarding and address changes are finalized.

  • 2. Deep Clean Your Old Home
    Clean appliances, floors, and blinds. A clean home is easier to hand off — and sometimes required by lease agreements.

  • 3. Finish Packing Early
    Pack and label all boxes before movers arrive. The more organized you are, the faster (and cheaper) your move will be.

  • 4. Arrange Care for Kids and Pets
    Have children and pets stay with friends or family during moving day to keep everyone safe and reduce stress.

    • The Day Before You Move

  • 1. Pack the Final Items
    Include any last-minute household items in your remaining boxes.

  • 2. Handle Restricted Items
    Movers can’t transport propane tanks, firearms, ammunition, or flammable materials. Move these items yourself safely.

  • 3. Have Cash Handy
    Keep some cash on hand for tipping movers, ordering food, or handling last-minute errands.

  • 4. Say Goodbye to Your Neighborhood
    Take photos and enjoy one last walk around your Salt Lake City neighborhood before starting your next adventure.

    • Moving Day in Salt Lake City

  • 1. Clear Walkways and Driveways
    Remove ice, snow, and clutter. Especially during Utah winters, this helps your Salt Lake City movers work safely and efficiently.

  • 2. Keep Valuables with You
    Take important documents, cash, medications, and jewelry with you personally.

  • 3. Be Present When Movers Arrive
    Meet your Moving Connections crew and walk them through your home. Point out fragile or high-priority items.

  • 4. Do a Final Walkthrough
    Check closets, cabinets, and basements to ensure nothing is left behind.

  • 5. Celebrate Your New Chapter
