MOVING GUIDE
Moving and utilities guide: Miami
Energy, water, internet, transit and parking pointers for Miami. Verify with each provider before you commit.
Utilities and services
- Electricity: Florida Power & Light (FPL) serves most of Miami-Dade County
- Natural gas: Natural gas is limited in many buildings; many apartments are all-electric — ask the host
- Water and sewer: Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department (some municipalities such as Miami Beach run their own)
- Internet: Internet availability and speeds are address-specific. Check the FCC National Broadband Map (broadbandmap.fcc.gov) for the exact address and ask the host which providers serve the building.
- Transit: Metrorail, Metromover and Brightline rail
- Parking rules: Miami Parking Authority manages many downtown and Brickell-area public spaces; check posted signage and paid-parking zones
Moving checklist
- Ask whether the building requires a certificate of insurance or elevator reservation for moving day
- Hurricane season runs June to November: ask about shutters, flood zones and insurance
- Set up internet early; confirm provider options for the exact building
