Moving to Jihlava: costs process & districts

Jihlava consists of 16 districts: Jihlava with the old town, Antonínův Důl, Červený Kříž, Henčov, Heroltice, Horní Kosov, Hosov, Hruškové Dvory, Kosov, Pávov, Pístov, Popice, Sasov, Staré Hory, Vysoká and Zborná. Most of the city, including the centre, lies in Moravia; some parts historically belong to Bohemia.

In the centre around Masaryk Square, with the town hall and the Jesuit church, there are old townhouses beneath which the medieval passages lie; the outer districts are more village-like. For the move, therefore, the specific address is what counts: we clarify access, floor and parking space during the survey. What to do after arrival is set out in our checklist for the Czech Republic.

Jihlava lies on the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands where the Jihlávka flows into the Jihlava river. According to legend, silver was already being mined here in 799; the town was granted far-reaching privileges early on. Since 2004 it has been home to the College of Polytechnics Jihlava, a public higher education institution with around 600 students. North of the town, European route E59 begins at the D1 motorway. We do not give specific rents – they depend heavily on location and condition.

For newcomers from Germany: within the EU there is no customs duty on household goods; anyone staying longer than 30 days registers their residence with the foreigners' police within 30 days. Long distances from Berlin can be found under Long-distance moves.

The cost of a move depends heavily on the size of the flat. Smaller one-room flats can be moved from €375. Moving into a two-room flat costs from €594, with 3 rooms it is from €894 and with 4 rooms from €1,329. There is no flat rate for houses or villas – here we always prepare an individual quote. For a long-distance move we charge from €3.95 per kilometre. The quickest way to find out your exact price is a free survey.

The main cost drivers include the volume of your belongings, the distance (from €3.95/km), the number of floors and whether there is a lift. A parking restriction zone (Halteverbotszone) is also recommended for a smooth process. In addition, we offer furniture assembly and a part load.

For your move to Jihlava you put together the services you need.

• Part load Part load: ideal for small moving volumes.
• Furniture transport Furniture transport: for single items of any size.
• Private move Private move: an all-round service for your home.
• Company relocation Company relocation: smooth moves for businesses.
• Move with assembly Move with assembly: furniture assembly included.

We plan moves from Berlin (Stromstraße 21) for private and business customers – including to other EU countries such as the Czech Republic. What matters for moves across the border is explained under International move; long distances can be found under Long-distance moves. We also plan the way back from Jihlava to Berlin with you.

Anyone who wants to secure parking space for the removal van in Jihlava encounters two sets of rules. According to the gov.cz service portal, reserved parking spaces (vyhrazené parkování) require a permit for special use of the road. For local roads the municipal office decides; the fee starts at CZK 100 for permits of up to 10 days. The portal does not explicitly mention moves. So check with the Magistrát města Jihlavy (Tyršova 18) whether an application is needed for your street and what deadline applies.

Paid parking in Jihlava is governed by Ordinance No. 7/2024 (in force since 1 September 2024; check whether it is still current):

• Short-term parking: the visitor parking permit is valid for a maximum of 24 hours. Payment is made at the machine, by SMS or via virtual parking meters.
• Construction work: for construction work in buildings within the zones, the short-term parking permit can also be paid at the cash desk of the Magistrát.
• Long-term parking: the resident parking permit is only available with permanent residence (trvalý pobyt) or property ownership in the zone. It is electronic and linked to a number plate.

A "visitor" is anyone who is neither a resident nor a subscriber in the zone. Anyone who has just moved in and does not yet meet the requirements initially falls under the visitor rule. We secure loading in Berlin with a parking restriction zone.

If you move to Jihlava as an EU citizen and want to stay longer than 30 days, you must, according to the Police of the Czech Republic and the gov.cz portal, register your residence within 30 days of entry. The responsible authority is the foreigners' police office covering your place of residence. According to the portal, registration is free of charge.

• How: you submit the official registration form in person or by post. Electronically, this is only possible via a data box or by e-mail with a qualified electronic signature.
• Exceptions: no registration is needed if your accommodation provider has registered your stay or you are under 15 years of age.
• Consequences: failing to comply is an administrative offence. According to the police, the fine can be up to CZK 3,000.

The transport from Berlin to Jihlava crosses the border into the Czech Republic. According to German customs, you can bring goods duty-free from any EU country if they are intended for your personal use or consumption; cash of €10,000 or more must be declared on request. Customs' special rules for household effects concern moves from non-EU countries, not from EU states. We set the transport route and date with you in the quote after the survey.
