Local requirements and considerations
Loading Dock Reservations Required
Most downtown high-rises require advance loading dock reservations. Buildings like 55 West, The Vue, and Paramount require 48-72 hours notice. Time slots are typically 4 hours max.
Pro Tip: Reserve your loading dock BEFORE booking movers. Morning slots (7am-11am) are less competitive and avoid afternoon I-4 traffic.
Elevator Scheduling Mandatory
Service elevators must be reserved in advance. Some buildings charge $100-300 deposits. Weekend elevator access may be restricted or require extra fees.
Pro Tip: Ask your building about freight elevator dimensions—some downtown buildings have smaller service elevators that limit furniture size.
Street Parking Permits
Street parking for moving trucks requires city permits in most of downtown. Metered spots cannot be used for extended loading. Violations are $50-150.
Pro Tip: Your moving company should handle permits, but confirm 48 hours ahead. Some buildings have dedicated loading zones that bypass street permits.
Building Move-In/Out Hours
Most downtown buildings restrict moves to weekday business hours (8am-5pm). Weekend moves often require special approval and may incur fees.
Pro Tip: If you must move on a weekend, request approval 2 weeks ahead. Some buildings waive weekend fees for residents with 12+ month leases.
