After you arrive

What do I need to do after moving to Maricopa?

Register your car with ADOT MVD as soon as you become an Arizona resident. Arizona’s Area A emissions zone covers parts of Pinal County, and a car you drive to work inside Area A needs a test even if it is registered outside it. Start power with ED3 before the truck arrives.

Weather

How do you handle a summer move to Maricopa?

We start early. From May through September, book about 3 weeks ahead and take the first loading slot, so the truck unloads in Maricopa in the morning. Monsoon season runs June 15 to September 30, and flooding can close SR 238; then the truck takes the I-8 route instead.
