Here&rsquo;s a step-by-step guide to moving to Utah.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"step-1-visit-the-state-and-explore\">Step 1: Visit the state and explore<\/h3>\n<p>As you might have gathered from this guide so far, Utah has <em>so<\/em>&nbsp;much to offer. The best way to get a feel for the state and whether you&rsquo;d like to call it your new home is to visit and explore as much of it as you can. From the Salt Lake metro area to tourist spots like Park City, high desert, unpopulated rural areas, and everything in between, Utah really does have something for everyone. And to help you make the most of your visit, check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/explore-utah-the-beginners-travel-guide-to-explore-utah\/\">Beginner&rsquo;s Travel Guide To Exploring Utah<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"step-2-choose-a-city-to-call-home\">Step 2: Choose a city to call home<\/h3>\n<p>This guide gives you some basic information about Utah&rsquo;s 10 biggest cities. But there are many more &mdash;&nbsp;one of the great things about Utah is that you can live in a community of just about any size.<\/p>\n<p>Choosing the city you&rsquo;ll call home is no small feat. Start your research with our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/best-places-live-utah\/\">Top 10 Best Cities to Live in Utah<\/a>&nbsp;guide, and remember everything you should consider when choosing a new place to live:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The cost of living.<\/li>\n<li>The cost of housing.<\/li>\n<li>Your profession.<\/li>\n<li>Amenities you&rsquo;d like to have nearby.<\/li>\n<li>Your lifestyle and hobbies.<\/li>\n<li>Your short- and long-term goals.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"step-3-choose-a-home-type\">Step 3: Choose a home type<\/h3>\n<p>One of the great things about all the variety Utah offers is that you can also choose just about any type of home. If you want a downtown apartment on a bustling street, Utah has that. If you want a suburban home with a huge backyard for pets and kids, Utah has that too. If you want acreage to raise animals, or even a full-blown farm, you can find both in Utah.<\/p>\n<p>That&rsquo;s why the next step is to decide what type of home you&rsquo;d like to live in. You can do this before or after choosing a city, since the home type you want might help narrow down the list of top towns in the state.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"step-4-set-a-budget\">Step 4: Set a budget<\/h3>\n<p>If you plan to buy a home in Utah, reach out to lenders for loan pre-approval, which will help you determine what kind of budget you can set for your house search.<\/p>\n<p>If you plan to rent a home, there are plenty of options for you, too &mdash; just keep in mind that a general rule of thumb (and qualification for many landlords and property managers) is that rent should cost no more than 1\/3 of your monthly income.<\/p>\n<p>When considering your home budget, keep in mind that you&rsquo;ll also have moving expenses. These can be quite high depending on where you&rsquo;re moving from &mdash;&nbsp;a cross country move for a family can easily cost thousands of dollars.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"step-5-find-a-home\">Step 5: Find a home<\/h3>\n<p>If you&rsquo;re planning to buy a home, you can start your search online. But in a housing market as hot as Utah&rsquo;s, you might have better luck finding a real estate agent you want to work with, and letting them bring home options to you. In 2021, listed homes in Utah tend to sell very quickly, so your agent can help you spot listings quickly and make a move if you find a home you want to put in an offer for.<\/p>\n<p>If you&rsquo;re planning on renting, sites like Zillow, Hotpads, and Rentler are popular for listing rentals in the state.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"step-6-plan-and-make-your-move\">Step 6: Plan and make your move<\/h3>\n<p>Once you&rsquo;ve decided where you&rsquo;re moving and found your new home in Utah, the planning process will be similar to any other move.<\/p>\n<p>For a week-by-week checklist of everything you need to do to prepare for your move, as well as downloadable box labels, packing lists, and more, check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/ultimate-moving-checklist\/\">Ultimate Moving Guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"step-7-settle-in\">Step 7: Settle in<\/h3>\n<p>Welcome to Utah! Congratulations on making the move, but you&rsquo;re not quite done yet &mdash;&nbsp;there are a few loose ends to tie up.<\/p>\n<p>Utah does not offer a grace period for driver&rsquo;s licenses. That means that if you moved from out of state, you&rsquo;ll want to get a Utah license as soon as possible. To do so, visit a Utah Driver&rsquo;s License office. You&rsquo;ll need to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fill out an application.<\/li>\n<li>Have your photo taken.<\/li>\n<li>Turn in your valid out-of-state license.<\/li>\n<li>Show proof of ID, your social security number, and two documents that show your Utah address.<\/li>\n<li>Pass a vision test.<\/li>\n<li>Pass a 25-question written test.<\/li>\n<li>Pay any applicable fees.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>New Utah residents have up to 60 days to transfer their vehicle title and registration. Your vehicle may need an inspection for safety and emissions before it can be registered in Utah.<\/p>\n<p>Utah <a href=\"https:\/\/secure.utah.gov\/voterreg\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">voter registration can be completed online<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"use-neighbor-to-find-storage-in-utah\">Use Neighbor to Find Storage in Utah<\/h2>\n<p>Once you&rsquo;ve moved to your new home in Utah, you might find that you have more belongings than you can fit in your space.<\/p>\n<p>If that&rsquo;s the case, find affordable and nearby storage by using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_campaign=contentlinks\">Neighbor<\/a>.
