Moving in Melissa: the local picture
Local moves out of Melissa run about $800 – $2,000 for a typical 2–3 bedroom home, an informational range rather than a quote. The regional picture behind that number: texas has some of the largest, most competitive, and most affordable local-move markets in the country — Houston, DFW, Austin, and San Antonio each pair low hourly rates with big-metro access logistics and summer dawn starts.
Ranked 10th by population among Collin County's 16 places, roughly 2% of the county's residents, Melissa sits in the part of the market where "we cover the whole county" is doing a lot of work. Ask which yard the truck leaves from and how travel time is charged — in an hourly local move that answer is worth more than a small difference in the rate.
By population Melissa is 138th of Texas's 481 places. In a market this size the choice is narrower and the reputations are better known locally, but "known locally" is not a licence — the FMCSA SAFER record still is, and it takes half a minute to read.
Collin County is up about 11.1% on 2020, some 119,623 additional residents. Two practical consequences: the summer peak books out sooner here than in a flat market, and a lot of that new housing sits behind a gate or an HOA move window, which is a scheduling constraint your mover needs before crew day, not on it.
Collin County's population is spread across 16 places, with Plano the biggest at roughly 24%. That spread is why two quotes for the "same" county move can differ so much — the crews are not all starting from the same place, and most companies bill the drive.
Crews working Melissa generally cover Murphy, Anna, Princeton, and Fairview too — same county, same Texas operating authority, same hourly structure. Nothing about crossing between them changes the licence your mover needs.
