Do I need a Columbus moving-truck parking permit?
City of Columbus 906 Non-Construction Occupancy is the printed tool for parking moving vans and trailers in the public right-of-way (7-day maximum; DPS how-to review 3-10 business days). That how-to PDF does not print the fee. Rec Parks Moving Event $50-$3,000 is parades and races, not household-goods trucks. Short North and German Village are printed permit districts; Clintonville is not on that PDF. COI and elevators are building/HOA rules.
What should I verify before hiring any Columbus mover?
USDOT/MC on SAFER (interstate). PUCO CPCN on the household-goods carriers list and Search Motor Carriers for in-state work.

Is a Columbus-to-Cleveland move in-state or interstate?
A move that stays in Ohio is PUCO CPCN (OAC 4901:2-19). Cleveland, Cincinnati, Dayton, Toledo, Akron, Middletown, and Plain City are still Ohio. Crossing into another state is FMCSA Part 375. Compare movers in Cincinnati, Cleveland, Dayton, Toledo, and Akron. Live cost pages exist for Middletown and Plain City.
Does a Columbus residential parking permit cover the moving truck?
Short North and German Village annual hang-tags are resident/guest products on the city permit-parking PDF. Occupying the curb with a moving van is the 906 occupancy / out-of-service track, not that hang-tag. Clintonville is not named on that PDF. COI and freight elevators are building/HOA rules.
