Permit pulling service vs. doing it yourself in NYC

The NYC DOT permit process isn't complicated, but it requires coordination. Here's what changes when you use a service.

Why NYC movers use a permit pulling service

New York is the hardest city in the country to park a moving truck. Here's what a permit actually does for you.

  • ✓ Reserved parking in front of your building. Without a permit, your crew circles the block or double-parks. With one, you have legally cleared space when the truck arrives. In Manhattan, Brooklyn, or Queens, that's not a convenience — it's essential.
  • ✓ We cover Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens. One service, one application, whether you're moving out of the Upper West Side, Williamsburg, or Astoria. We know the borough-specific requirements.
  • ✓ Photo proof sent to you and your crew. We photograph the posted no parking signs and email them to you. If a car doesn't move, you have documentation for NYPD enforcement. If your crew needs to confirm the space before arrival, they check their phone.
  • ✓ $120 is the number. Shown upfront, before you enter card information. Authorized at application, charged only after the permit is confirmed. If anything goes wrong on the city's end, you owe nothing.

Running a NYC moving company?

New York City does not issue an official moving permit for this use. We provide courtesy No Parking signs that are not enforceable or backed by the city. The same short order process and upfront price apply, with no contracts or minimums.

NYC permit puller: frequently asked questions

How much does a moving permit puller cost in New York City? ▼
Through Easy Moving Permits, an NYC moving permit costs $120 all-in: a $120 service fee plus the $0 NYC DOT fee. That covers the permit application, sign posting, and photo confirmation. No charge until the permit is approved.
Do I need a permit to park a moving truck in New York City? ▼
Technically, you can double-park a moving truck briefly under NYC rules — but you cannot block a lane without a no parking zone authorized by NYPD or NYC DOT. A moving permit authorizes temporary no parking signs so your truck has a legal, clear space. In dense neighborhoods like the Upper West Side, Williamsburg, or Jackson Heights, a permit is effectively required for any organized move.
Which NYC boroughs do you cover? ▼
We cover Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens. Popular neighborhoods include the Upper West Side, Upper East Side, Hell's Kitchen, Astoria, Long Island City, Williamsburg, Park Slope, Greenpoint, DUMBO, and more. See Manhattan permit info →
How far in advance do I need to apply for an NYC moving permit? ▼
Apply at least 3–5 business days before your move. NYC DOT processing times can vary, especially around popular moving dates at the end of the month. We submit immediately after you apply and follow up directly. Don't wait until the last minute — the earlier you apply, the better your chances of securing your exact dates.
What happens if my NYC moving permit isn't approved? ▼
If your permit isn't approved for any reason, you owe nothing. Your card is authorized at application — not charged. The authorization is released if the permit doesn't come through. This is different from how some other services work, which charge upfront regardless of outcome.
