Your 60-day concierge timeline

Use this sequence to reduce friction and keep key tasks on track.

Pre-move: 6–8 weeks out

• Confirm your start date and any employer-provided benefits (temporary housing, moving vendor, home-search support).
• Check utility and internet options by exact address. Fiber availability varies by neighborhood, so verify early using local ISP availability tools.
• Identify your assigned public school by address and gather required enrollment documents such as proof of residency, immunization records, and prior school records. Learn about the district at Edmond Public Schools.
• If you will drive, assemble vehicle paperwork now. Many guides note a 30-day window to register your vehicle after establishing residency. Review steps and documents in this Oklahoma DMV change-of-address guide.

2–3 weeks before move

• Apply for city utilities for in-city addresses. Edmond Electric typically serves electricity, and the city handles water, sewer, and trash billing. Expect deposits and 1 to 2 week lead times. Start here: Edmond Electric customer info.
• Schedule internet installation for move-in day or the day after through your chosen provider. Use BroadbandNow’s Edmond page to confirm service types at your address.
• If your lease or closing date is delayed, book short-term furnished housing or an extended-stay hotel. Learn how corporate housing typically works here: corporate housing overview.

1 week before move

• Confirm building or HOA rules for moving trucks and elevator or dock access.
• Pack a first-night essentials box with tools, chargers, toiletries, bedding, and prescriptions.
• Pre-schedule first-week appointments (tag office visit, primary care or pediatrician, dentist) so you are not scrambling after arrival.

Arrival day

• Meet the movers or confirm supervisor contacts for deliveries your employer arranged.
• Verify power and water are active and confirm the internet installer’s access.
• Share emergency contacts with your household and save utility outage reporting numbers.

First 30 days post-move

• Visit a tag agent or DPS location to obtain an Oklahoma driver’s license and register your vehicle if you are establishing residency. Plan ahead using this DMV checklist guide.
• Complete school registrations and confirm the district received records and immunizations. See the Edmond Public Schools overview for context.
• Confirm trash and recycling pickup days and learn how to schedule bulk item pickup. If you are in an HOA, note any special rules.

Utilities and services setup

Getting the essentials right keeps move-in day stress-free.

• Electricity, water, sewer, trash: Many in-city addresses use Edmond Electric and city billing for water, sewer, and solid waste. Service areas can vary by exact address, and deposits may be required. Review process details in this Edmond Electric resource.
• Internet and TV: AT&T and Cox are the primary options, with fiber available in select areas. Confirm availability and schedule installation 1 to 3 weeks ahead using BroadbandNow’s Edmond listing.
• Address check: Some properties near city limits may use different utilities or school districts. Always verify services by the exact street address.

Schools and enrollment basics

Many transferees choose a home with school logistics in mind. Edmond Public Schools serves most in-city addresses with multiple elementary, middle, and high schools. Enrollment typically requires proof of residency, a birth certificate, immunization records, and prior school records. For a helpful overview of district structure, see Edmond Public Schools.

Healthcare access

Edmond offers hospital campuses and a range of primary-care and dental providers. Local facilities include INTEGRIS Health Edmond and Mercy Edmond. For location context, see INTEGRIS Health Edmond. If you have ongoing care needs, schedule an initial visit shortly after arrival and transfer prescriptions in advance.

Neighborhood and commute pointers

• Downtown and Old Town Edmond offer restaurants, shops, and a walkable feel near community events.
• Areas near the University of Central Oklahoma are convenient for faculty, staff, and students with nearby apartment options.
• Neighborhoods along the Mercy and INTEGRIS corridors and near I-35 can provide shorter commutes for healthcare workers.
• If you commute to Oklahoma City, choose locations with quick I-35 access or near the Expresslink route. For city context, browse the Edmond overview and pair it with your work address drive times.

Common pitfalls to avoid

• Waiting on internet or special fiber installs. Some setups take 2 to 3 weeks, so book early using BroadbandNow.
• Assuming every Edmond mailing address has city utilities. Verify whether the home is inside city limits using the exact address and check utility providers through Edmond Electric resources.
• Delaying DMV and tag office visits. Many guides cite a 30-day expectation for vehicle registration after establishing residency. Review the Oklahoma DMV how-to and schedule early.
• Booking temporary housing late during peak seasons. University and healthcare hiring cycles can tighten availability. See the corporate housing overview for typical timelines.
