Move to Florida without getting burned.

Florida rewards prepared movers. It is hard on people who wing it.

We make three things. Here’s which one you need — honestly.

They stack: the Playbook keeps you from expensive mistakes; the Command Center keeps the move itself on rails. Plenty of readers use both.

Who it’s for — and who it isn’t

For you if: you’re moving to Florida within 12 months — for real, not “someday”; you’re past “should I move?” and stuck on “how do I not get burned?”; you want the insurance answer before you fall in love with a house.

Not for you if: you’re still deciding whether Florida is right for you (start with our free guides — they’re genuinely free); you’ve already closed and settled in; or you want someone to do it for you — this is a playbook, not a concierge service.

Questions people actually ask

Is this the same thing as the Move Command Center?

No — they do different jobs. The Command Center ($19) organizes your move: 12 weeks of logistics, tasks and tracking sheets. The Playbook ($37) protects your money: insurance, true costs, where to buy, and vendor vetting. If your biggest fear is an expensive mistake, get the Playbook.

What exactly do I get?

Two files, instantly after checkout: the Florida Relocation Playbook PDF (~40 pages, letter size — reads well on screen, prints clean) and the companion Excel workbook (4 sheets).

Is this a subscription?

No. $37, once. You own the files.

I’m 8+ months from moving. Too early?

It’s the best time. The most expensive Florida mistakes — the wrong county, a contract signed before an insurance quote, a 50% contractor deposit — all happen early. The 90-day timeline kicks in when you’re close; the rest earns its keep months before that.

Does it cover my specific city?

It covers all 8 major regions with side-by-side scorecards plus a 6-county Southwest Florida deep dive — and, more important, the worksheets show you how to get YOUR numbers for any address (the actual quote, the actual county fee schedule, the actual flood zone) rather than a statewide average.

Are the dollar figures guaranteed to match what I’ll pay?

No — and be suspicious of anyone who says otherwise. Florida costs vary block by block, which is why every figure is a range plus instructions for getting your own number.

What’s the refund policy?

All sales are final, because files are delivered instantly — the same policy as our other products. If you’re unsure, grab the free Insurance Chapter first, and email hello@imovingtoflorida.com with any question before buying.

A complete 2026 guide to moving to Florida — in one download

Most Florida relocation guides stop at packing tips. This one is built around the money: how Florida homeowners insurance really works (and how to quote it before you make an offer), what a Florida move actually costs beyond the truck, how the homestead exemption and Save Our Homes cap change your property taxes, and how to choose between Tampa Bay, Orlando, Southwest Florida, South Florida, Jacksonville, the Space Coast, the Treasure Coast and the Panhandle with side-by-side scorecards instead of guesswork.

It pairs with the free resources we publish for everyone: the moving to Florida checklist, our Florida cost of living guide, the Florida homeowners insurance explainer, and 170+ relocation guides. The Playbook is the organized, opinionated, work-it-with-a-pencil version — the system, not just the reading.
