Congrats. This was me several months ago.

You are supposed to get a permit to block a street for moving. I got one. Still haven't received the 75 dollar bill though, so waiting for it to just pop up sometime.

With the permit, you're supposed to get signs to post in the temporary no parking zone. I got mine from the Southeastern district police outpost (or whatever it is called). It was easy getting the signs, but you have to attach them with your own zip ties or whatever.

Then just hope no one removes the signs on moving day, as one of my lovely neighbors did. 🥴

The permit office said I could either have the cars towed from the temporary no parking zone (in front of my house) but it would be a wait. I was told that in the meantime I could unload. The movers unloaded in 20 minutes. The tow truck never arrived.

Neighbors were a bit inconvenienced because the temporary parking zone was blocked on a one way street so, they just had to wait or squeeze by.

I moved on a Tuesday and it was scheduled for 1 to 4, or 2 to 4, the duration of the permit. They finished just before 4, even with the parking issue. But had I moved on a weekend, I think it would have been a nightmare.

Edit: take photos of the signage when you place them, in case someone decides to remove them and act like they were never there.
