Ask about specialty-item charges before moving day: a flat-screen TV box commonly adds $55, mattress bags run $12 each, and a mirror or art crate adds around $17. Push for a binding, not-to-exceed estimate rather than a non-binding one, since a non-binding quote can legally rise once the job runs long. Maryland requires local movers to be registered with the state's Public Service Commission and to carry a valid USDOT number, so confirm both before you book. Tipping isn't required but is customary: figures typically range from $20 up to $50 for each mover on a standard day, scaling higher for a heavy or multi-story job.

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 Montgomery County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 15% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
