List the person responsible for keys and the confirmed access time.
Prepare the new address for arrival and unpacking.
Start with both complete addresses and the intended order of any additional stops. Confirm when the destination can be opened and where unloading is allowed. If the property is outside city limits or uses a separate service provider, check the arrangements that apply to that address.
Identify separate arrangements for unloading and any longer vehicle stay.
Plan room labels, essential items and disposal of unpacked materials.
Coordinate the home’s services with the owner
For a property receiving city water and sewer service, review the Three Forks new-resident information with the owner or manager. It explains account arrangements and links to forms. Confirm the action required for your situation, especially when moving into a rental where the owner handles the account.
Keep utility setup, lease paperwork and keys on a separate handover list. Check which tasks are already complete and who is responsible for the rest. Use the official resident page for current procedures instead of relying on an older checklist or a previous occupant’s arrangements.
- Verify the service provider for the exact property.
- Record any remaining handover task before choosing an arrival window.
Plan where the truck or trailer will be
Identify a proposed unloading location and discuss it with the property owner. If you are arranging your own rental truck or trailer, explain its expected arrival and collection times. Include the distance from parking to the entry and any obstacles along the route.
If a vehicle may need to remain after unloading, check the city’s current street-parking information and any property rules. The Three Forks resident guide includes vehicle and trailer guidance. Confirm the applicable arrangement before assuming a public street or shared space is available for an extended stay.
Set up an orderly unpacking area
Label boxes by room and keep a first-night group easy to identify. Choose a place for empty cartons that leaves entrances and walking paths open. Plan how packing materials and unwanted belongings will leave the property; the city resident guide has information on local garbage arrangements.
Discuss any requested removal or disposal separately from the moving inventory. Include the items and proposed destination in your inquiry so that additional work can be considered before the scope is agreed.

Who should arrange city water and sewer service?
Check the official new-resident information with the property owner. The steps depend on the account and occupancy arrangements. Confirm that the home receives city service before using the city forms.
Can a rental trailer remain while I unpack?
Confirm the location and length of stay with the property owner and check applicable parking guidance. Include collection timing in the plan; unloading arrangements do not establish permission for a longer stay.
Should packing waste be included in the moving inventory?
List requested removal work separately and discuss what is available before confirming the scope. Arrange any remaining garbage or recycling yourself using the current local provider information for your property.
