Guide for Moving from Missouri to Florida

Dreaming of trading Missouri’s seasons for Florida‘s year-round sunshine? You’re not alone. Every year, thousands of Missourians make the move south—and for good reason. Whether you’re drawn to Florida’s white-sand beaches, no state income tax, or simply the promise of milder winters, this guide will help you weigh the key differences between life in the Show-Me State and the Sunshine State.

Let’s be honest: Missouri and Florida are two very different places. From climate and cost of living to lifestyle and local culture, each offers a unique experience. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the pros and cons of relocating, what to expect when you arrive, and—most importantly—how to ensure your belongings make the trip safely and stress-free.

Because while the destination is exciting, the journey matters too. And with the right interstate moving partner, your transition from Missouri to Florida can be just as smooth as the Gulf Coast breeze.

Pros of Moving from Missouri to Florida

No State Income Tax
Florida has 0% state income tax, which is a big contrast from Missouri’s state income tax (top rate 4.7% as of 2025). For many households, that means more take-home pay and more flexibility for budgeting and long-term planning.

Year-Round Sunshine & Warm Climate
If you’re tired of Missouri winters, ice, and unpredictable swings, Florida’s warmer climate is a major upgrade. Mild winters make it easier to stay active and spend more time outside throughout the year.

Coastal Living & Water Recreation
Florida offers coastlines on both the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico, making beaches, boating, fishing, and water activities much more accessible than Missouri’s landlocked lifestyle.

A Thriving, Diversified Economy
Florida’s economy is driven by major industries like tourism, healthcare, international trade/logistics, aerospace, and a growing tech footprint—especially around large metros like Miami, Orlando, Tampa, and Jacksonville.

Strong Retirement + Active Adult Lifestyle Options
Florida is a top destination for retirees and active adults thanks to the lifestyle (warm weather, outdoor living) and the number of established communities designed around activities, amenities, and social connection.

Cons of Moving from Missouri to Florida

Hot, Humid Summers (Big Adjustment)
Florida’s heat and humidity can be intense for long stretches, and most people rely heavily on A/C—especially in late spring through early fall.

Hurricane Season & Storm Planning
Hurricane season runs June through November, and even if a storm doesn’t hit directly, you may deal with heavy rain, high winds, and disruption—plus the need to plan ahead.

Insurance Can Be Higher (Especially Near the Coast)
Homeowners insurance (and sometimes auto) can be noticeably higher in Florida due to storm risk. It’s worth pricing insurance early when comparing “total monthly cost,” not just taxes.
