In short, Chapter 507, Florida Statutes requires any person engaged in intrastate moving to register annually with the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Division of Consumer Services. This includes any person who transports or ships household goods for compensation that originates and terminates within the State of Florida. Registration with the Department is required if you are an intrastate mover, regardless of any other local, municipal or county licensing requirements. Failure to comply with this law may subject you to a cease and desist order and fines of up to $5,000.
We urge consumers to verify a moving company’s licensing status when moving within Florida. Each state has different laws regarding intrastate moves (within a state – no crossing state borders). The US DOT regulates interstate moves (when crossing state lines). Moving is one of life’s most stressful experiences. There is no need to add to the stress associated with a move by retaining the services of a company that is not licensed and complying with Florida laws. These laws were enacted to protect consumers. Do you really want to do business with someone who is not licensed? Think about it, if they have no regard for the law, do you really think they have regard for you?
