Mayor Walsh: Moving Truck Permits Now Available Online

A simplified online application process for receiving one-day moving truck permits is now available to Boston residents, Mayor Marty Walsh announced Tuesday. The tool is being released in time for the City’s busiest moving day, September 1.

Residents will also be able to apply for moving truck permits at the City Hall To Go truck where they can pick up their signs in person.

“I am committed to making accessing city services easier for Boston residents and students,” said Mayor Walsh. “We are excited to offer our residents the ability to apply for moving truck permits from anywhere and hopefully relieve some of the stress that moving brings.”

Mayor Walsh has made eight new permits available online this year, advancing his commitment to make permitting in Boston easy, transparent and predictable.

Online applicants will need to apply two weeks in advance of their move-in date in order to ensure timely delivery of their signs. To apply online, and learn more about the eligibility criteria for online applications visit: boston.gov/movingtrucks.
