Local planning notes
- Parking on public village streets is restricted during daytime and overnight hours. If the truck will not fit in a driveway or loading zone, check with the Village of Arlington Heights or your condo/HOA board; you may need temporary clearance or a non-emergency police notification.
- Ask about access fees for long carries, flights of stairs, and heavy or bulky items such as pianos, safes, or oversized gym equipment.
- Intrastate movers in Illinois must be licensed by the Illinois Commerce Commission. Request the ICC MC license number and verify it before booking.
- Basic included valuation is usually 60 cents per pound per item, so consider third-party moving insurance or Full Value Protection for high-value belongings.
- Month-end, weekend, and summer moves can increase rates or limit availability; I-90 and I-294 corridor traffic can also add to an hourly bill.

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 Cook County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 8% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
