West Virginia Movers

West Virginia may only be the 37th most populous state in the nation, but what it lacks in people it surely makes up for in personality. With a large part of the state covered by the Appalachian Mountains, an abundance of national forests and trails and a handful of scenic rivers, West Virginia gives its residents a plethora of sweeping views, places to visit and ample ways to enjoy the beauty of the state. If you’re moving to the Mountain State you’ll want to find West Virginia movers that are not only affordable, but also familiar with the best ways to navigate the area. A little bit of time, research and diligence is all you need to find the perfect West Virginia moving company.

Whether it’s your first move or your 40th, you probably realized that the best way to jump start the process is to seek moving quotes from several West Virginia moving companies. Don’t feel pressured rushed or forced into signing a contract with the first West Virginia mover you meet, even if he is nice and reasonably priced. The best thing to do is to speak to at least three different West Virginia movers about your specific needs. Compare quotes, available services and availabilities. Check the references of each potential West Virginia mover and make sure you have a good understanding of exactly what you’ll be getting. Reserve the West Virginia moving company of your choice only after you’ve done your homework and have confirmed that you’re getting exactly what you want.

Once you’ve booked your West Virginia moving company you can start focusing on life in your new state. Here is some useful information to keep in mind during your West Virginia moving experience:

New West Virginia residents must apply for a non-commercial driver’s license within 60 days of moving to West Virginia. Commercial license conversions must be requested within 30 days. You will need to prove both residency and authorized presence. You will also need to prove your identity with valid forms of identification. You may be required to pass written and practical driving exams. Passing a vision test is always required. Minors can begin to drive in West Virginia at age 14 upon completion of the proper forms and following the required guidelines. As such, those with a learner’s permit should have no trouble transferring it to a West Virginia learner’s permit until they can pass their driving exams.

When planning your budget or financial roadmap for your new life in West Virginia it’s important to familiarize yourself with the state’s tax requirements. The good news is that there’s no sales tax in West Virginia (another reason why your friends and family will love coming to visit you!). The state’s income tax is broken down into seven tax brackets which function as follows:

• The Department of Motor Vehicles requires that you transfer your out of state driver’s license to a West Virginia license within 30 days of arrival, so make sure to schedule a time for this errand
.
• West Virginia residents must register to vote at least 21 days before any election or primary. Since you may forget to do this in advance of a vote it’s a good idea to include this on your to-do list during the move.
• West Virginia has five income tax brackets that range from 3% to 6.5% of your salary. Keep this in mind when negotiating your salary.
• - In 1921 West Virginia was the first state to institute a sales tax. Today, the state’s sales tax is 6% which is average as compared with other states. Only prescription drugs are exempt from this sales tax.
• - West Virginia does not have an international airport.

Moving to West Virginia may feel overwhelming, but it needn’t be. With a bit of advance planning and research you’ll have no trouble finding West Virginia movers or settling in to your new state.
