The largest economic sector in Texas is manufacturing, which helps shape the types of commercial relocations businesses need across the state. Office, warehouse, and facility moves can look very different depending on the industries driving the local economy.
Other major sectors include real estate and rental and leasing and professional and business services, adding to the mix of offices, facilities, and specialized workplaces across Texas.
What It Costs to Operate a Business in Texas
If you are comparing Texas with another state, the cost of the move is only part of the equation. Here's how the state stacks up on key business operating costs.
| Measure | Texas |
|---|---|
| State income tax rate | None |
| Average sales tax | 8.19% |
| Unemployment rate | 4.1% |
| Cost of living index | 93 (100 = national average) |
| Average income | $73,035 |
| Population | 30,503,301 |
Texas levies no state income tax, which is one reason we see inbound business relocations here from higher-tax states.
At a cost of living index of 93, Texas sits below the national average, which tends to show up in both payroll and commercial lease rates, though Houston runs higher than the statewide figure.
On hiring, The University of Texas at Austin and Texas A&M University feed the local talent pool, which matters if the relocation involves growing headcount rather than just changing addresses.
Figures are compiled from public sources as of October 2026 and provided as general context, not tax or financial advice.
Commercial Moving Costs in Texas
Commercial moving costs in Texas depend on the size of your office, distance, equipment, and the services you require. The industry average for office moves falls between $5,000 and $15,000, with larger or more complex moves costing more.
Commercial Moving Cost by Office Size in Texas
| Office size | Employees | Estimated cost range |

| 1,500 – 5,000 sq ft | 10–30 | $5,000 – $15,000 |
| 5,000 – 10,000 sq ft | 30–75 | $15,000 – $35,000 |

How American Van Lines Quotes Your Commercial Move
The only accurate number is the one built from your space. Published ranges are a starting point, but two Texas offices of the same square footage can price very differently depending on IT scope, building access, and timing. Here is how American Van Lines gets to your number.
What we look at when we scope the job
- Distance
- Total volume and weight
- Square footage
- IT and infrastructure complexity
- Building access
- Timing and after-hours requirements
- Packing and specialty crating
- Storage duration
-
Free on-site walkthrough
We measure the space, inventory furniture, equipment, and IT assets, and document dock, elevator, and access requirements at both buildings.
-
A written scope and flat-rate bid
You receive one all-inclusive price covering labor, transportation, and equipment, plus any packing, crating, or storage you select, so your finance team has a single number to approve.
-
The price holds
As long as the scope of your move does not change, the final invoice should match the approved estimate or come in lower.
Having your approximate square footage, employee count, target move date, and both addresses on hand makes the first call faster, and lets a coordinator tell you right away what your Texas project will involve.

Local business moves in Texas are dispatched from our Lancaster hub, serving Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin, Houston, and San Antonio. The same team also handles interstate commercial moves into and out of the state.

How Your Texas Office Move Works
-
Free walkthrough and bid
We measure the space, inventory furniture and equipment, and document building requirements at both locations before preparing your quote.
-
One dedicated move coordinator
Once you approve the bid, a dedicated coordinator becomes your single point of contact and manages the relocation from planning through completion.
-
Certificates of insurance and building requirements
We coordinate COIs for both locations, along with permits and union requirements where applicable, so approvals are in place before moving day.
-
Move planning and phasing
We build the schedule around your operating hours, whether that means an evening, weekend, or department-by-department move, and coordinate access to freight elevators and loading docks.
-
Tagging and floor-plan mapping
Every workstation, crate, and carton is labeled by its destination before anything is loaded.
-
Moving day
We install building protection, including Masonite floor runners and corner guards, then protect furniture, disassemble workstations, load, and transport your office on GPS-tracked trucks.
-
Set up for day one
Workstations are rebuilt, equipment is placed according to plan, packing materials are removed, and a final walkthrough confirms the space is ready for your team.

Minimize Downtime During Your Texas Office Relocation
A commercial moving budget should account for more than transportation and labor. Lost productivity can add up quickly when an office relocation takes employees offline for longer than planned.
Consider the cost by the hour: multiply the number of employees affected by their average hourly labor cost, then multiply that by the hours of downtime. For a company with 80 employees at an average loaded labor cost of $50 per hour, one lost eight-hour workday represents $32,000 in productivity.
The key is sequencing. Moving department by department can keep part of the business operating, while an overnight or weekend move limits the amount of work time lost. Coordinating IT separately from furniture and equipment also helps get employees back to work faster.
Commercial Moving Tips for Texas Businesses
- Reserve the freight elevators as soon as the date is set. Confirm access at both buildings so your move doesn't get held up at the loading dock.
- Confirm COI requirements with both buildings early. Getting the required coverage and additional-insured language upfront helps prevent approval delays.
- Photograph IT and AV setups before disconnecting them. Reference photos can make it easier to recreate workstation, server, and conference-room setups in the new space.
- Pack a separate day-one kit. Keep laptops, chargers, access cards, keys, and other essentials with your team instead of loading them onto the moving truck.
- Plan for hurricane-season disruptions. Texas can be affected by tropical weather during the Atlantic hurricane season from June through November. If your move falls during that window, build flexibility into the schedule and have a backup plan for delays.
Commercial Moving FAQs for Texas
How much does a commercial move cost in Texas?
Most businesses should expect the cost of an office move to vary based on the size and complexity of the relocation. Professional office moves average $5,000 to $15,000, while larger or more specialized projects can cost more.
How far in advance should I book an office move in Texas?
The sooner you can start planning, the better. A 4- to 8-week window works for many standard office moves in Texas, while larger projects often require several months of coordination.
Do you provide a Certificate of Insurance?
Yes. Certificates of insurance are available for commercial moves, and we coordinate with your buildings to meet their specific requirements before moving day.
Can you move IT equipment and servers?
Yes. American Van Lines can move servers, workstations, phones, network equipment, and other office technology, with protective equipment and custom crating available for sensitive electronics.
Do you offer after-hours or weekend office moves in Texas?
Yes. Your office move can be scheduled after hours or over the weekend to reduce disruption to your team and normal business operations.
Will you disassemble and reassemble cubicles and modular workstations?
Yes. We disassemble and label office furniture before transport, then reassemble and position it according to your new floor plan.
Do you offer commercial storage between leases?
Yes. Climate-controlled commercial storage is available when your old lease ends before the new space is ready or when you need to stage a move in phases.
Will my price change after the estimate?
Your quote is based on the walkthrough and agreed scope of the project. As long as you do not add services or change the scope, the amount you approve is the amount you should expect to pay.
What coverage is included for our equipment and furniture?
Basic carrier liability is included with your move, and Full Value Protection is available for additional protection. Your coordinator can explain the coverage options and help you choose the right level for your furniture and equipment.
Can you track our shipment in transit?
Yes. GPS tracking gives your team visibility into the shipment while it's on the road, making it easier to coordinate facilities, IT, and other vendors around delivery.
What is a commercial moving company?
Commercial movers relocate offices and other business facilities. Unlike a typical household move, these projects often require coordination with building management, detailed floor plans, equipment handling, and scheduling around normal operating hours. American Van Lines has been moving businesses since 1995, with experienced crews and dedicated coordination for commercial relocations.
