FAQ

Straight answers about finding local services.

ZIP codes are useful starting points, but the exact address decides many services.

How do I find my electric company?

Enter your ZIP code for possible providers, then confirm your street address on the utility’s official website or by phone. Electric territories can split a ZIP code.

Can more than one utility serve the same ZIP code?

Yes. ZIP codes are mail-delivery areas, not utility boundaries. One ZIP may include municipal utilities, cooperatives, investor-owned utilities, private systems, wells, or septic systems.

Why does my provider depend on my exact address?

Utility territories follow city limits, service maps, infrastructure, and agreements that rarely line up with ZIP boundaries.

How do I find my water company?

Start with the possible water records shown for your ZIP. Confirm with the provider, city, county, landlord, seller, or closing documents. Some homes use a private well.

How do I find internet providers at my address?

Use the FCC National Broadband Map and enter the complete address. Internet availability can differ between neighboring buildings and even between units.

When should I transfer utilities?

Contact each confirmed provider before move-in and ask for the earliest appropriate start date. Do not schedule a shutoff for someone else’s active account.

What utilities do renters usually need to set up?

Your lease should say which services are your responsibility. Common examples are electricity, internet, water, gas, or trash, but arrangements vary.

What utilities do homeowners usually need to set up?

Common services include electricity, water or well systems, sewer or septic, internet, gas where available, and trash collection.

How do I find trash and recycling information?

Check the city or county record shown in results. Collection often depends on city limits, a franchise area, an HOA, or a private hauler.

Does MoveIn sell my information?

No. MoveIn does not ask for an email or street address for this lookup and does not sell ZIP searches.

Is MoveIn a utility company?

No. MoveIn is an independent information tool. It does not sell, activate, or bill for utility service.

Is MoveIn affiliated with the government?

No. MoveIn links to official government and provider sources but is not a government agency and is not endorsed by them.

Is the information guaranteed to be current?

No. Records show a verification date, but service areas and contact details can change. Always confirm with the official provider.

How can I report incorrect information?

Use the Corrections page and include the ZIP code, record, and an official source when possible.

Will MoveIn support states outside Florida?

The database supports multiple states, but the first launch is limited to verified pilot records in five Central Florida counties.
