Details that change the final bill
- Towson's tight streets and apartment parking rules mean a blocked lane or hydrant can bring a fine, so check local rules before moving day.
- Hourly billing often starts when the crew leaves its depot and stops when it returns, so ask exactly how travel time is charged.
- Carrying items up multiple flights of stairs, common near Towson University housing, or parking far from your door usually adds a surcharge.
- Basic liability coverage pays only about $0.60 per pound, so a 20-pound TV worth $1,000 is covered for just $12 without extra protection.
- Keep cash, medications, and important documents with you; movers generally aren't liable for high-value items unless they're listed on the inventory.

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 Baltimore 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.
