Utilities, HOA gate access and the local details that trip people up.
Moving inside St. Johns County has a few local wrinkles worth planning around, especially in gated and newer communities.
Before moving week
- Transfer utilities and confirm the start date at the new address
- Check HOA move-in windows and elevator or gate reservations
- Share gate codes with everyone helping — including your tote delivery
- Update your address with USPS and your insurer
Moving day
Summer afternoons bring rain. Load early, keep lids snapped, and stage totes in the garage rather than the driveway.
