Moving Companies in Lakeville, MN
Local moves in Lakeville and the Twin Cities are billed by the hour. A standard two-mover crew and truck runs $160 to $225 per hour; if you've already got a truck and just need labor, expect around $81 per hour, with typical jobs totaling $360 to $720.
By home size, full-service moves generally run: studio/1-bedroom $420–$1,120, two-bedroom $1,000–$1,900, three-bedroom $1,300–$2,500, and four-plus bedrooms $1,800–$4,500 or more.
Ask exactly when the hourly clock starts; some companies bill from the moment the truck leaves their warehouse, not when it reaches your door. Minnesota's peak moving season runs May through September, and weekends in that window cost noticeably more. A Tuesday move in November can run 15% to 20% cheaper than a Saturday in July.
Coverage included by law is thin, $0.60 per pound per item, so a 30-pound, $1,000 TV is only covered for $18 if damaged. Movers also won't transport hazardous materials, propane, paint, or perishable food, so plan to carry those yourself.

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.
