Factors affecting the cost of moving from OK to TX

A few key things can affect how much it costs to move from Oklahoma to Texas. Here’s what might influence your total price:

• Move size: Bigger homes cost more to move than small studios.
• Time of year: Rates go up during summer, the peak moving season in Oklahoma.
• DIY vs. professional mover: Moving yourself is more affordable, but letting professionals handle the move saves you time and effort.

• Rent is about 34% higher in Texas than in Oklahoma. Keep this in mind when planning your monthly budget.
• Get ready for a higher monthly mortgage. You can expect home prices in Texas to be about 46% more than what you'll find in Oklahoma.
• Good news—you can expect to earn about 19% more in Texas than in Oklahoma. That extra income could mean more savings or investment opportunities each month.
• Moving to Texas means you’ll be paying 8% more than you did in Oklahoma. Make sure to plan your budget so you’re prepared for the increased cost of living.
• Unemployment in Texas is roughly 24% higher than in Oklahoma. That means there are more job seekers, giving employers more options but making it harder for you to land a job.
• Sales tax in Texas is 8% lower than in Oklahoma. If you have a large family or higher spending habits, this lower rate in Texas can really help cut down your living expenses.
• A major advantage of relocating to Texas is the absence of state income tax, meaning you keep more of your hard-earned money whether you’re working a salary, freelancing, or enjoying retirement with taxable income.

• If you’re relocating from Oklahoma to Texas, you’ll notice that Texas has about 652% more residents. With a larger population comes improved infrastructure—think better hospitals, schools, public transportation, and more entertainment options.
• The last presidential election saw both Oklahoma and Texas siding with the Republican party.
• Summer highs typically reach about 94ºF in Texas and 93ºF in Oklahoma. With similar temperatures, you shouldn't have much trouble adjusting to the climate. Remember to also consider humidity, general weather patterns, and energy expenses to really understand what summer will feel like in your new home.
• Winter lows in Texas stay around 36ºF, while Oklahoma can plunge to a brisk 26ºF. Moving to Texas means you’ll get to experience milder winters, making day-to-day life simpler and often saving you money. With fewer icy days and less snow, you can spend more time outside and less time bundled up.
• In Texas, you’ll see about 36 inches of rain each year—nearly identical to the 39 inches you’re used to in Oklahoma. While the overall rainfall stays pretty consistent, the timing and pattern of those showers might shake up your daily routine.
• In Texas, you’ll get about 2 inches of snow each year. Meanwhile, Oklahoma usually sees around 6 inches annually. With snowfall levels being similar in both states, you shouldn’t run into any surprising weather issues after you move.
• Both Texas and Oklahoma have a crime rate of 27.52. Keep in mind, though, that crime rates can differ significantly from one city or neighborhood to another, so be sure to check local statistics for more accurate information.

Other things to consider for your Oklahoma to Texas move

• Weather: Although winters are mild, hurricane season during the summer months may affect your move.
• HOA rules: Check ahead with any neighborhood or community rules on moving to ensure a smooth move.
• Elevator reservation: One common issue you should handle ahead of your move is reserving the building's elevator and finding out their rules for using the elevator.
• Parking permits: Some cities require parking permits for large vehicles. Find out about your new local rules ahead of time.
• State licensing: In-state movers operating in the Lone Star State are legally required to be licensed by the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TXDMV), which issues 10-digit TXDMV numbers to commercial carriers. Make sure the moving company you use has proper licensing before hiring them.
• State regulator: You can verify a Texas moving license and its status on the state regulator's official website.
• Moving permits: Texas 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 so that all your mail will get properly forwarded to Texas. Get started here.
• Mover's insurance: Interstate moving companies are required under federal law to provide basic insurance, also called “released value protection,” free of charge to all moving customers. In Texas, movers typically provide Released Value Protection at no additional cost, covering items at 60 cents per pound. For enhanced protection, consider discussing Full Value Protection options with the moving company. Alternatively, explore third-party insurance providers for customized plans. It's crucial to understand coverage limits, potential additional costs, and read reviews to make an informed decision about your moving insurance in Texas.
