Moving Companies in Farmington, MN
Farmington movers offer two ways to price a local job: a full crew with a truck, or labor-only if you've rented your own.
A standard two-person crew and truck runs $100 to $105 per hour, with total local move costs typically landing between $400 and $3,500 or more depending on how much you're moving. If you just need muscle to load or unload a truck you've already rented, hourly labor averages around $90.
Hourly pricing can climb fast if a crew works slowly or shows up unprepared, so a clear, itemized estimate matters more than the lowest quoted rate. Ask what's included, such as the truck, blankets, and basic assembly, and what gets billed separately.
The bigger driver of your final bill is usually home size, not the hourly rate itself. A studio or one-bedroom apartment needs far fewer labor hours than a three-bedroom house, so get a walkthrough-based estimate rather than a phone guess if your inventory is more than a few rooms.
Watch for warning signs on the hourly-pricing side: a crew that seems to be working slowly, arrives without basic equipment like dollies and blankets, or can't clearly explain what counts toward billed time. Those are the situations where an hourly quote quietly turns into a much bigger bill than expected.

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 Dakota County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 20% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
