Florida to Texas: two no-income-tax states, one long I-10 run
Almost every Florida to Texas move rides Interstate 10. Jacksonville to Houston is about 870 miles, while Miami to Dallas runs closer to 1,300 with the extra Turnpike miles and the leg north at the Texas end. Between those bookends sit Tampa, Orlando, Austin, and San Antonio pairings, which is why quotes on this lane vary so much by exact city pair.
Both states skip the income tax, so the financial paperwork mostly concerns your car: Texas gives new residents 30 days to register, charges a flat $90 new-resident fee in place of sales tax, and allows 90 days to swap your license. Since 2025 there is no annual safety inspection for passenger vehicles, though the Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin, and El Paso metro counties still require emissions tests.
Watch the calendar in late summer and fall: the whole I-10 corridor from the Florida Panhandle through Louisiana and the Texas coast sits in hurricane country, and June through November storms occasionally close sections of the highway. Spring dates dodge both that risk and the peak-season crush.
What drives the price on this corridor
Home size & weight
The volume you're moving is the biggest factor. Downsizing before a 1,310-mile haul is the single best way to lower the price.
Distance
At about 1,310 miles, this is a long-distance move, mileage, fuel, and driver time are built into your written price.
Packing & specialty items
Full or partial packing, plus crating for pianos, antiques, and fine art, is quoted up front, never added on move day.
Timing
Peak season (May–September) books up fast. Reserving 4–8 weeks out secures your window and often a better rate.

Florida to Texas, FAQs
How much does it cost to move from Florida to Texas?
A typical 2 to 3 bedroom move from Florida to Texas runs around $2,800–$7,450 as a planning estimate over roughly 1,310 miles. Studios and 1-bedrooms cost less; 4-bedroom homes cost more.

How long does the Florida to Texas move take?
Most moves from Florida to Texas deliver in 4–8 days, depending on exact addresses and schedule. Your coordinator confirms the window when you book.
Is AmeriSafe Van Lines licensed for the Florida to Texas move?
Yes. AmeriSafe Van Lines holds FMCSA authority as both an interstate motor carrier and a household-goods broker (USDOT 3341650, MC 1066696), licensed to move household goods between all 50 states, including Florida to Texas. The carrier hauling your goods is named on your paperwork before move day.
Does moving from Florida to Texas change my state income taxes?
Usually, yes. Texas has no state income tax on wages, so your withholding changes once you establish domicile there. For the year you move you will generally file a part-year resident return in Florida, and it pays to document your move date: your bill of lading, lease or closing paperwork, driver's license, and vehicle registration all serve as evidence of when residency changed.
What does the price for Florida to Texas include?
Your written estimate covers the full door-to-door move: a dedicated coordinator, professional loading and unloading, furniture pad-wrapping, mileage, fuel, and tolls. Specialty items, pianos, antiques, fine art, and full-value protection are quoted up front so there are no day-of add-ons.
