What not to forget when moving house in Sarasota?

5 Star Movers Sarasota·Updated November 9, 2026

Set up USPS mail forwarding early, then update your bank, insurers, doctors and driver license address. A checklist for move week.

Quick Answer

The most commonly overlooked moving tasks are address changes. Set up USPS mail forwarding (forward.usps.com) well before your move. Then update your address with your bank, insurers, employer, doctors, the Florida DMV for your driver's license and vehicle registration, the Sarasota County Supervisor of Elections if you are registered to vote, and your subscription services.

Planning Your Sarasota Move

On the utility side, schedule disconnection at your old address and new service activation so service is on by move-in day. Contact your electric, water and internet providers, or arrange new service at the destination, and return any cable equipment before your final bill date.

If you own your home and are staying in Sarasota County, ask the Sarasota County Property Appraiser about updating your homestead exemption and the deadline to do so, to maintain your tax benefit at the new address.
