Moving out of California involves specific requirements and considerations. Here’s what you need to know based on our 15 years of interstate experience.
California doesn’t have an “exit tax,” but you must establish residency in your new state to avoid ongoing CA tax obligations. This includes changing voter registration, driver’s license, and bank accounts. We provide a comprehensive checklist to ensure clean residency transfer.
Your California vehicle must meet your destination state’s emission standards. Some states require inspections or modifications. We coordinate with auto transport services and can recommend certified mechanics in your destination state for any needed work.
Many states prohibit bringing plants, fruits, or soil from California to prevent invasive species. We help you understand what can and cannot be transported, and coordinate with agricultural inspection services when required.
Doctors, lawyers, teachers, and other licensed professionals must research reciprocity agreements and transfer requirements. Some states require additional testing or education. We recommend starting this process 3-6 months before your move.
Most states offer significant cost savings compared to California. Housing costs can be 30-60% lower, but factor in potential salary adjustments, different tax structures, and varying utility costs. We provide cost-of-living comparisons for your destination.
Moving from California’s mild climate to areas with harsh winters or humid summers requires preparation. We advise on timing your move, what clothing/equipment to bring, and how to prepare your belongings for different climate conditions.
