Florida does not charge any state moving tax, so treat a mover who invokes an eighteen percent tax or a last-minute transportation fee as a red flag, especially if they are holding your belongings hostage over it. Confirm the company's USDOT number for interstate jobs or FDACS registration for moves within Florida before you book, and insist on a written estimate built from an in-home or video walkthrough rather than a cheap phone quote. Ask about long-carry or stair charges upfront if your building has a long walk to the elevator, and tape boxes well since summer humidity weakens cheap cardboard fast.

Orlando refills from a distance: nearby counties pull households out, and the rest of the country only partly replaces them.
Each bar shows that state's in/out split — rows are ranked by total volume.
Households arriving from another state report $79,814 in average annual income; those relocating from elsewhere in Florida report $58,046. Long-distance arrivals are the higher-budget half of the market.
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 Orange County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 12% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
