SF Moving Permit

In the midst of moving day in San Francisco, finding a parking spot on a tight street coupled with strict regulations can be challenging, while a moving permit simplifies this process while not being mandatory. Moving permits are issued by the SFMTA, reserving curb space (one or two depending on the moving truck type) for your truck, thus preventing fines while ensuring smooth loading and unloading.

The key here is to be pro-active; the application should be made at least 14 days before and should include date, expected start time, and your move location. Fees involved are application fees and signs rentals, and reserved spaces are marked with "No Parking" signs a few days prior to your move. Permits are essential in busy neighborhoods such as Masonic Ave, Financial District, Nob Hill or SoMa, in that they provide efficiency and convenience. The moving permit fee in San Francisco starts at $239 for up to 120 feet of designated parking, with extra charges for longer spaces or metered parking. Blocking metered spaces will incur an extra fee of $10 for every meter each day.  At Bystroff Moving we always ask in advance to obtain the permit, but this is not required just recommended.

What are people saying about our movers services near San Francisco, CA?

"If I could truly express my feelings about Bystroff Moving, I would reveal very great things. From the first call through to Steve, I understood that I had just hit the jackpot with exactly the right company. Steve really offered a good impression and by nature very detailed. I had a move involving two different pick-up locations and one drop-off appearance. Once your appointment is confirmed, they will text and email you to continuously update you about their time of arrival or departure down to the minute. When the movers came in, Paul-the chief manager of the move- greeted me. Paul and his boys went out of their way to do everything they could humanly do, and they were professional, thorough, and friendly. The smartest way of describing their work is fast, tidy, and, quite importantly, they took care of my furniture. I could not have asked for anything more! Also, I should mention that Bystroff has the best prices! Again, thanks to Steve and Paul for an absolutely smooth experience!"

They did a great job! I moved from the east bay down to SoCal. Even with some challenges they had, they figured it out and quickly solved the problem without any impact to my timing and no change in his moving quote. There is a good company standards and truly backs them up! No surprises and they were very accommodating to anything I needed their help with! Very happy with their services! And I have moved many times, hiring movers. This was by far my best experience.

They loaded all contents of our 2 storage units in the truck like a well oiled machined. It was like watching a game of Tetris. They literally used up all available space on the truck. I was always kept in the loop on their progress.

We recently moved from the Bay Area to Sacramento and Bystroff was so amazing! Their virtual consultation was convenient and quick. They arrived on time and ready to work. They moved quick and were very respectful with our belongings. They were able to get us out and into our new place well within the time and pricing they quoted us.
