San Jose's welcoming atmosphere makes it a top destination for both families and professionals seeking opportunity alongside quality of life.

Parking a moving truck in San Jose
San Jose requires a Department of Transportation tow-away permit to hold street space for a moving truck or a moving pod.
- The city recommends applying at least 2 weeks ahead (dotpermits@sanjoseca.gov, 408-535-3850).
- The fee is $67 plus $0.82 per sign, plus $8 per meter per day where there are meters.
- You write the permit number, dates and times on each sign. Cancel at least 2 weeks out or the fee is not refunded.
