From the Greifensee to the Pfannenstiel: moving in Maur in 6 steps
Lake plain, wooded slope and hillside villages: in Maur, the location determines the vehicle and parking spot, and for detached houses the cellar and attic too.
- 01
Looking at the house and access
Whether a flat by the Schifflände or a house in Aesch: we record all floors including cellar, attic and garage and then send the quote.
- 02
Parking spot in the village centre
For a short carrying distance in the old village centres of Maur and Ebmatingen, we apply to the municipality for the parking spot; the authority charges the fee.
- 03
A vehicle for the gradient
If the move goes from the lake plain up to Binz or Uessikon, we use a van that can safely handle the route with a full load.
- 04
A house floor by floor
We clear from the attic to the garage in a fixed order, covering stairs and door frames on every floor as we go.
- 05Optional
Furniture lift for bulky items
Where a sideboard or wardrobe won't fit through the stairwell, we can lift it directly over a window or terrace with the furniture lift on request.
- 06
Unpacking and finishing
At the destination, our carpenters assemble the furniture; afterwards you take small quantities of recyclables yourself to the Werkhof Ebmatingen, the municipality's Hauptsammelstelle (main collection point).
Moving to Maur
Registering in Maur: deadline, eUmzug and mail forwarding
In the canton of Zurich, you must register with your new municipality within 14 days, in many places online via eUmzug. The municipality of Maur confirms the same 14-day deadline online.
For mail forwarding, it is enough to place the order at least 4 working days beforehand. Serafe (radio/TV licence fee) learns of the new address automatically via the Einwohnerkontrolle (residents' registration office), so there is no need to write.
New in Maur
Living in Maur: tax rate, villages and the Forchbahn
Anyone moving to Maur pays a total tax rate, excluding church tax, of 81 % in 2026. For comparison in 2026: Zurich 119 %. Maur is therefore lower than Zurich. In Maur, voters decide at the municipal assembly.
Municipality of Maur
Legislature: municipal assembly
Parking on moving day
In the old village centre and in the hillside villages, the road outside the house is often narrow. We obtain the permit for the parking spot free of charge, applying to the responsible office in Maur. You receive an invoice from the authority for the fee.
Responsible in Maur: Civil Engineering and Safety Department. Lead time according to the municipality: at least 14 days in advance by email.
Disposal and bulky waste
We load bulky items from the cellar or garage in Maur during the move, for CHF 65.– per cubic metre plus labour. Small quantities of recyclables you take yourself to the Hauptsammelstelle Werkhof Ebmatingen.
With our moving service, you don't need to: we take it away directly during the move – CHF 65.– per m³ plus labour. View disposal
Moving costs Maur
Moving in Maur: what determines the price between lake and hill
From Wallisellen we travel around 10 km as the crow flies to Maur, and we count the journey there and back as working time. What matters is the altitude of the address: between the lake plain and the hillside villages such as Binz, Ebmatingen or Aesch lies a wooded slope, almost 400 metres of altitude in total. In detached houses, the cellar, attic and garage come on top. The calculator above works out the guide price, and a cost ceiling is available on request.
| Apartment Size | Example price | Included |
|---|---|---|
| 1 – 1.5 rooms | from CHF 560.–Maur → Greifensee, approx. 3 km | Furniture assembly, protective materials, insurance |
| 2 – 2.5 rooms | from CHF 870.–Maur → Zumikon, approx. 4 km | Furniture assembly, protective materials, insurance |
| 3 – 3.5 rooms | from CHF 1'010.–Maur → Uster, approx. 4 km | Furniture assembly, protective materials, insurance |
| 4 – 4.5 rooms | from CHF 1'520.–Maur → Fällanden, approx. 4 km | Furniture assembly, protective materials, insurance |
| 5 – 5.5 rooms | from CHF 1'830.–Maur → Schwerzenbach, approx. 5 km | Furniture assembly, protective materials, insurance |
| 6 – 6.5 rooms | from CHF 2'030.–Maur → Egg, approx. 5 km | Furniture assembly, protective materials, insurance |
All prices include insurance and exclude 8.1% VAT. Guide values are based on average effort; the exact amount is determined during the free on-site survey and invoiced according to actual working time, including travel to and from the site.

Maur at a glance
Maur between the Greifensee and Pfannenstiel: several villages, one municipality
For us, Maur is not just a dot on the map, but a real place of work with its own roads, access routes and neighbourhoods. The municipality stretches from the western shore of Lake Greifensee to the crest of the Pfannenstiel range. The Forchbahn connects Aesch/Scheuren with Zurich; there is also a boat connection from Maur to Niederuster.
As a moving company for Maur, we also handle moves in the villages of Uessikon, Binz, Ebmatingen and Aesch – with the same planning and the same guide prices. Maur belongs to the district of Uster in the canton of Zurich.

Getting to know Maur
Moving company Maur: from the Greifensee shore up to the Pfannenstiel
Between the flat shore of the Greifensee and the Pfannenstiel (852 m above sea level), Maur covers almost 400 metres of altitude. For a move, this makes a real difference: a flat on the plain by the lake has different requirements from a house in Binz, Ebmatingen or Aesch, the villages "am Berg" (on the hill). As movers in Maur, we therefore look at every address individually.
Lake plain, wooded slope and hillside villages
The alluvial plain by the lake is at its widest near Maur. It is followed by an almost continuously wooded slope, and only above that come the flatter areas with villages and fields. Anyone moving from bottom to top or vice versa therefore has to tackle a gradient that matters with heavy furniture.
- Addresses on the slope: we clarify vehicle size and carrying route at the free viewing, on site or by WhatsApp video.
- Detached houses: the villages are mostly characterised by single-family homes. We therefore include the cellar, attic and garage in the planning from the start.
- Bulky items: where the stairwell is not wide enough, we use a furniture lift if needed.
Old church, old mill
The first church in Maur was built around 700, making it one of the oldest in the canton of Zurich; the current building dates from the 16th century. The old mill now houses the local museum. Around the old village centre, we fix the parking spot for the removal van early so that the path to the front door stays short.
Uessikon also had its own mill as early as the 16th century and its own schoolhouse from 1781. The villages led separate lives for a long time, and even today Maur consists of several villages, each with its own location and its own access roads.
Living between a protected shoreline and the city
Maur had 10,211 inhabitants (as of 2018) on an area of 14.77 km². The protected, undeveloped lakeshore gives the municipality a rural character despite its proximity to Zurich. In 2026, the total Steuerfuss (municipal tax rate) excluding church tax is 81%, compared with 119% in the city of Zurich.
From our base in Wallisellen it is around 10 km as the crow flies. If you commute into the city on the Forchbahn during the week, you can schedule moving day on a Saturday, with no Saturday surcharge from us. On request, our removals team also takes care of furniture assembly, end-of-tenancy cleaning and disposal.
If you are moving to the opposite shore, where the passenger boat from Maur also goes, we are there too: as removal company for Uster, for a move in Greifensee or in the neighbouring village of Egg in the same district. Your moving company in Maur prepares the quote within 24 hours.
Questions about Maur
Do you also move households to the hillside villages of Binz, Ebmatingen and Aesch?
Yes. Binz, Ebmatingen and Aesch lie on the flatter areas above the wooded slope and, like Uessikon, belong to the municipality of Maur. We clarify access, parking spot and carrying route individually for each address at the viewing.
What does the difference in altitude between the Greifensee and the Pfannenstiel mean for my move?
From the lakeshore to the Pfannenstiel, Maur covers almost 400 metres of altitude. At the viewing, we therefore determine the right vehicle size and check whether a furniture lift is worthwhile.
Local moving logistics
Moving house in Maur: lake plain, wooded slope and the hillside villages
In Maur, the route leads from the flat Greifensee shore across a wooded slope to Binz, Ebmatingen and Aesch. Detached houses dominate the villages, and this determines the volume, vehicle and sequence of your move.
Maur by the Schifflände
In the village of Maur, where the alluvial plain is widest, you find the church, the old mill and the Schifflände (boat landing). The paths here are level, so we mainly focus on the parking spot in the old village centre.
Binz, Ebmatingen and Aesch on the hill
Above the wooded slope, the three villages spread out over flatter areas. Anyone moving from bottom to top needs a vehicle that can manage the gradient with a full load; we decide on this before moving day.
Uessikon
Uessikon already had a mill in the 16th century and its own schoolhouse from 1781, and is still a distinct village within the municipality today. There, we clarify access and carrying route separately from the other villages.
Parking reservation
We apply for the parking spot for the removal van with the responsible office in Maur, so that it can stand close to the entrance in village centres such as Maur or Ebmatingen. The authority sends you a separate invoice for the permit.
Disposal
Hauptsammelstelle Werkhof EbmatingenYou can take small quantities of recyclables yourself to the Hauptsammelstelle Werkhof Ebmatingen, and the municipality also publishes open Saturdays for this. We dispose of old furniture from the cellar, attic or garage properly for CHF 65.– per m³.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about moving in Maur and Ebmatingen
Who moves garden furniture, bikes and tools from a house in Maur?
Our team also takes everything from the garden, garage and workshop, provided it was recorded at the viewing. Garden tables and loungers are loaded with protection, bikes are secured and tools go into sturdy boxes. Empty flower pots of soil beforehand if possible; they are heavy and easily dirty other furniture.
How does a piano get out of a detached house in Aesch or Binz undamaged?
That is exactly what our piano transport from CHF 250.– is for: our carriers tackle stairs with straps, and on level ground the wrapped piano rolls on a board into the van. At the viewing, we look at steps, landings and doors so that the route from the living room to the vehicle is planned.
How does a move from Maur to Niederuster on the opposite shore of the Greifensee work?
While the passenger boat goes straight across the water, the removal van takes the road around the lake; we build this drive firmly into the day's schedule. For the new address, we apply for the parking spot with the responsible office in Uster, and for moving out with the one in Maur, both for the same day.
Where can I drop off recyclables in Maur if I only have time at the weekend?
At the Hauptsammelstelle Werkhof Ebmatingen, which according to the municipality is open on open Saturdays. The dates are in Maur's waste calendar. You don't have to sacrifice a Saturday for furniture and larger quantities: we take these with us directly on moving day and dispose of them properly.
What happens to furniture when downsizing from a house in Ebmatingen to a smaller flat by the lake?
At the viewing, we go through room by room and mark what is coming along. Pieces you are keeping but cannot place yet we store dry, climate-controlled and alarm-protected; whatever is worn out we dispose of properly. Our carpenters set up the new flat so that you can find your way around on the first evening.
Why is it worth photographing cables and connections before dismantling in Maur?
Because you can then reconnect your TV, router and computer at the new place without any guesswork. A photo of the back shows which cable goes where. Bundle cables with tape, label them and pack them in the same box as the device they belong to.
