Burbank moves planned around Media District schedules, Rancho bridle paths and hillside streets.
Popeye Moving & Storage in Burbank
Burbank is an incorporated city of about 17.4 square miles in the southeastern San Fernando Valley, bordered by Glendale, North Hollywood and Toluca Lake, Griffith Park and the Los Angeles River, and the Verdugo Mountains. It runs its own permitting. Parking permits are issued by the Community Development Department, not Public Works, and the Public Works permits page points to its Street Use section for moving truck and container permits. Transportation permits for oversized loads are a separate permit under Burbank Municipal Code Title 6, Chapter 1, Article 25. The Toluca Lake boundary with the City of Los Angeles runs close, so which city controls the street is confirmed from the parcel, and current fees and lead times are confirmed with the City before a move is quoted.
Two specialty markets shape moving here. The Media District runs on production schedules rather than office hours, so a move for a studio, post house or production office is timed around the shoot, with continuity and discretion taking priority. In the Rancho equestrian district, bridle paths are shared with ridden horses, so keeping noise down, never blocking a path and avoiding startling a horse are conduct rules, and tack is itemized separately from household goods. On the north side, the hillside district climbs the Verdugo Mountains with steep, narrow streets, tight turns and homes reached by stairs, where a planned shuttle and a longer crew day are quoted at the estimate.
Popeye Moving & Storage has served Los Angeles and surrounding areas since 1994 under CAL T 189749, USDOT 1472924 and MC 498816C. For Burbank we handle Local Residential Moving, Apartment Moving and Office & Business Moving, plus Vaulted Storage at our Mar Vista warehouse with same-day placement into vaults after pickup. On every move inside California the price is in writing before anything is loaded, with a Not To Exceed figure. Call (310) 823-9510 for a free in-home or video estimate.

LOCAL EXPERTISE
Common Moving and storage service Challenges in Burbank
Confusing the Burbank and Los Angeles boundary
The Toluca Lake boundary with the City of Los Angeles runs close, so which city issues the permit is confirmed from the parcel.
Missing the parking office window
The parking office closes at 3:30pm Monday to Thursday, 3:00pm Friday and for lunch at 12:00, so permits are worked back from the move date.
Oversized load paperwork
A transportation permit for oversized loads is separate from a parking reservation, and the resident large non-commercial vehicle permit does not cover a moving truck.
Hillside access
Steep, narrow Verdugo hillside streets often cannot take a full-size truck, so a shuttle is planned and priced up front.
Production timing
Media District moves are set by shooting schedules, so the move window has to fit the production rather than standard office hours.
LOCAL TIPS
Moving and Storage Tips for Burbank Residents
- ✓Call the Community Development Department about your moving truck permit early in the week. The parking office closes at 3:30pm Monday to Thursday and 3:00pm on Friday.
- ✓If you live near Toluca Lake, confirm whether your parcel is in Burbank or Los Angeles before arranging any street permit.
- ✓In the Rancho district, list tack separately from household goods so it is inventoried and packed on its own.

What Customers Say About Our Movers in Burbank
Real reviews from Burbank-area customers we've served.
“Theft pattern by the citywide Burbank overflow 4. The Burbank ramp was never empty.”
“A one-bedroom up a walk-up beside the Rancho Equestrian District gate is still an apartment job. They reserved the elevator in Rancho Equestrian District and finished with time on the clock.”
“Door-to-door international meant they kept the Rancho Equestrian District origin and the overseas agent on one thread. The Rancho Equestrian District curb was their problem, not mine.”
Moving and Storage Service in Burbank - FAQs
Burbank issues its own permits. Parking permits come from the Community Development Department, not Public Works, and the City's Street Use section handles moving truck and container permits. The parking office is at 150 N. Third Street and is open Monday to Thursday 8:00am to 3:30pm and Friday 8:00am to 3:00pm, closed for lunch at 12:00, which matters when working back from a move date. Oversized loads moving through the city need a separate transportation permit. We confirm current fees and lead times with the City for your address.
As a typical Los Angeles range, local residential moving runs $150 to $200 per hour for a two-person crew and truck, and a one-bedroom apartment local move runs $350 to $650. These are typical market ranges, not a quote. Your price depends on the home, the access and whether a hillside shuttle is needed, and it is set in writing before anything is loaded, with a Not To Exceed figure on a move inside California.
Yes. Popeye operates under CAL T 189749 for moves inside California and holds USDOT 1472924 and MC 498816C for interstate moves, and is fully insured. California household movers are regulated by the Department of Consumer Affairs Bureau of Household Goods and Services, the BHGS, not the CPUC, since July 1 2018. You can check a mover with the BHGS on (916) 999-2041.
Yes. Estimates are free, in your home or by video. After a video survey we can give a guaranteed binding price. A verbal rate is not an estimate, so on a move inside California you get the price in writing before anything is loaded, with a Not To Exceed figure that caps the bill unless you agree to a Change Order.
Yes. Popeye offers full-service vaulted storage at its own warehouse at 5509 1/2 S Centinela Ave in Mar Vista. Goods go into vaults at the warehouse the same day as pickup, with no overnight hold on the truck. You do not get a unit or key; our crews handle everything. The warehouse is climate controlled for temperature and humidity, with no minimum or maximum term. Vehicles are not stored.
Yes. In the Media District, move windows are set by production schedules rather than office hours, so we plan the move around the shoot. Our hours for calls and scheduling are 6 AM to 9 PM, seven days a week. Office & Business Moving is priced at a typical Los Angeles range of $1,500 to $8,000+, with your actual price set in writing at the estimate.
The Rancho district shares bridle paths with ridden horses, so crews keep noise down, never block a path and take care not to startle a horse. Tack is itemized separately from household goods on the inventory. We plan truck placement for the property at the estimate.
Often not a full-size truck. The hillside district has steep, narrow streets, tight turns, driveways that fall away sharply and homes entered by stairs from the street. The professional method is a smaller shuttle vehicle working with a larger truck parked legally, along with a longer crew day, and both are quoted at the estimate rather than found on arrival.
