Considerations for moving to Cheyenne

  • Weather: August, July and June are the most pleasant months in Cheyenne, while December and February are the least comfortable months..
  • HOA rules: Check ahead with any neighborhood or community rules on moving to ensure a smooth move.
  • Elevator reservation: If your building has an elevator you'll want to check on how to reserve it for move day.
  • Truck parking permits: Some cities require parking permits for large vehicles and moving trucks. Find out if you need any parking permits ahead of time.
  • State licensing: In the Cowboy State, moving company licensing, regulation and oversight falls mainly to the Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT). Though they have limited authority to intervene in disputes between movers and consumers, they’re worth calling if move-related issues arise. Make sure the moving company you use has a license before hiring.
  • State regulator: You can verify a Wyoming moving license and its status through the state's public utilities commission.
  • Moving permits: Wyoming does not require any moving permits, but it is helpful to check local parking restrictions before moving into the state.
  • Change of address: We recommend submitting your change of address form with USPS at least a week prior to your move. You can set an official move date on the form and this way all of your mail will get properly forwarded to Cheyenne. Get started here.
  • Moving company insurance: Every state requires moving companies to carry different levels of insurance. When planning a move in Wyoming, prioritize comprehensive movers' insurance for added protection. Many moving companies offer Released Value Protection at no extra cost, covering items at 60 cents per pound. Enhance your coverage by discussing Full Value Protection with the moving company or exploring personalized plans from third-party insurance providers. Understand coverage limits, potential extra costs, and read reviews to make an informed decision on your Wyoming state moving insurance. Secure your move with the right insurance coverage for a stress-free relocation experience.
