Moving Companies in St Paul, MN
St. Paul movers price local jobs by the hour. A standard two-to-three-person crew and truck runs $100 to $150 or more per hour, and most local moves under 50 miles total somewhere between $250 and $3,100 depending on how big your place is.
Rough breakdown by home size: studio or one-bedroom $250–$600, two-bedroom $500–$1,500, three-bedroom $650–$2,100, and a larger four-bedroom-plus home $950–$3,100 or more. Heavy or oversized items like a piano or a large safe, extra flights of stairs, and a long walk from the door to the truck all push the bill toward the higher end. Rates also climb during peak season, May through September.
St. Paul's older neighborhoods add their own wrinkle: narrow streets and tight parking near areas like Cathedral Hill or Summit Avenue mean a truck without a permit risks a fine or a tow. If your street is tight, ask about a temporary parking permit before moving day.

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 Ramsey County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 16% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
