Fine print worth checking
- Narrow stairs, steep driveways, or no close parking can add an access fee of $200 to $500 on moving day if not flagged in advance.
- A non-binding estimate is just a guess — the company can legally charge 10 to 20 percent more at delivery, so ask for a binding estimate in writing.
- Confirm the mover is registered with Michigan licensing authority before booking.
- Basic liability covers only $0.60 per pound per item — a 30-pound, $1,000 TV would net just $18 if damaged.
- Moving at month-end, in summer, or on weekends can raise rates 20 to 30 percent; a mid-week, mid-month date costs less.

How this works: IRS SOI County-to-County Migration Data, 2022-2023. The IRS compares the address on consecutive tax returns, so every move here is a real filed household. The catch: it publishes annually with about a two-year lag, counts Oakland County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 14% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
