Moving Companies in Fort Worth, TX
Fort Worth sits at the edge of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, so local moves often cross toll roads or contend with I-30 and I-35W traffic. North Texas toll tags such as NTTA or TxTag can pass through to your bill if the truck takes a toll route, and summer heat can slow crews during afternoon moves.
Local move costs
Local moves under 100 miles in the Fort Worth area typically range from $331 to $2,596. A standard two-person crew runs $100–$150 per hour, while overall crew rates can land between $108 and $297 per hour depending on how many movers are on the job. By home size, expect roughly $215–$440 for a studio or one-bedroom, $440–$680 for a two-bedroom, $970–$1,710 for a three- to four-bedroom, and $1,680–$2,600 or more for a home with five or more bedrooms.
Long-distance move costs
Moves of 100 miles or more are priced by weight and mileage rather than by the hour. A one- to two-bedroom shipment usually costs $1,530–$4,930, while a three- to four-bedroom or larger shipment can run $3,460–$8,670 or more.
Protecting yourself from extra charges
Ask about fees for stairs, long carries, pianos, large safes, and other heavy or awkward items. Standard carrier liability is typically $0.60 per pound per article, which may not cover the full value of electronics or furniture, so ask about Full Value Protection. Always verify the mover’s current TxDMV number for intrastate Texas moves, and book an early morning slot in summer to beat the heat and traffic.

Fort Worth refills from a distance: nearby counties pull households out, and the rest of the country more than replaces them. Head count stayed flat all the same — arriving households are smaller (1.76 people on average) than the ones leaving (1.78), so the city gained homes without gaining residents.
Each bar shows that state's in/out split — rows are ranked by total volume.
Households arriving from another state report $72,952 in average annual income; those relocating from elsewhere in Texas report $68,708. Long-distance arrivals are the higher-budget half of the market.
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 Tarrant County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 12% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
