Küsnacht ZH from the lakeshore to the Forch: moving in 10 steps
Parking zone in the centre, Seestrasse in Goldbach, gradients in Itschnach: in Küsnacht conditions change quickly, so we break your move down in detail.
- 01
Contact with canton and postcode
So that nobody drives to Küssnacht am Rigi, we note the postcode and district and arrange the free viewing by video or at your home.
- 02
Application to the Einwohnerkontrolle
We apply for the removal van's parking spot at the Einwohnerkontrolle (residents' registration office) in the Gemeindehaus; the municipality invoices you directly for the fee.
- 03
A fixed space in the centre
In the village centre on Zürichstrasse we do not count on free spaces but secure a dedicated parking spot, so that loading runs without interruption.
- 04
Loading by the water
In Goldbach and Heslibach we determine where the van can load safely next to the railway line and lakeside road, and calculate the walking routes accordingly.
- 05
Gradients in Itschnach
In the upper neighbourhood bordering Zumikon, slope and access width count; where space is tight, a furniture lift supplements the porters.
- 06
Farmsteads up to the Forch
For addresses in Chaltenstein, the hamlets along the Dorfbach or on the Forch, we clarify road width and turning space before choosing the vehicle.
- 07
Protecting the property
On moving day we cover the stairwell, lift and parquet so that flat and building remain undamaged before the first furniture goes out.
- 08Optional
Library and practice
For practices, institutes or offices in the village we pack files and books as an archive relocation and move outside consulting hours.
- 09Optional
Disposal of old furniture
Carpets, mattresses and furniture that have no place in your new home are loaded at the end and taken for proper disposal.
- 10
Handing over the keys
Finally, we walk through the new flat together, collect the empty boxes later and invoice according to the items in the quote.
Moving to Küsnacht
Registering in Küsnacht: 14 days in the canton of Zurich
Under the rules of the canton of Zurich you have 14 days to register in Küsnacht. Many Zurich municipalities accept the notification online via eUmzug, and Küsnacht also describes moving in on its website.
You should give Swiss Post your forwarding order at least 4 working days before moving out, so that nothing is left at the old address. You do not need to notify Serafe (radio/TV licence fee); the Einwohnerkontrolle does this automatically.
New in Küsnacht
New to Küsnacht: taxes, Gemeindehaus and waste collection
For 2026, the total tax rate excluding church tax in Küsnacht is 73 %. For comparison in 2026: Zumikon 71 %, Zollikon 76 %, Erlenbach 76 %, Herrliberg 73 % and Zurich 119 %. Küsnacht is therefore lower than Zurich. In Küsnacht, eligible voters decide at the municipal assembly.
Municipality of Küsnacht
Legislature: municipal assembly
Parking on moving day
In Küsnacht the Einwohnerkontrolle in the Gemeindehaus is responsible for parking permits. There we submit the application for your parking spot on Zürichstrasse or by the lake free of charge, and the Einwohnerkontrolle invoices you directly for the fee.
Disposal and bulky waste
We load old carpets, mattresses or discarded furniture from your Küsnacht flat during the move. Disposal costs CHF 65.– per m³, plus the time involved. The municipality's waste calendar shows when each collection runs.
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 Küsnacht
Küsnacht on Lake Zurich: costs for your move between the lake and the Forch
At around 10 km as the crow flies from Wallisellen, the journey to Küsnacht is short, and like the return journey it counts as working time. The terrain carries more weight: from 1909 the former vineyards on the hillside were gradually built over, many addresses are on a slope, and some are up in Itschnach or on the Forch. During the free viewing we estimate the effort, with a cost ceiling on request.
| Apartment Size | Example price | Included |
|---|---|---|
| 1 – 1.5 rooms | from CHF 560.–Küsnacht → Erlenbach, approx. 2 km | Furniture assembly, protective materials, insurance |
| 2 – 2.5 rooms | from CHF 860.–Küsnacht → Rüschlikon, approx. 2 km | Furniture assembly, protective materials, insurance |
| 3 – 3.5 rooms | from CHF 1'010.–Küsnacht → Kilchberg, approx. 3 km | Furniture assembly, protective materials, insurance |
| 4 – 4.5 rooms | from CHF 1'520.–Küsnacht → Zollikon, approx. 3 km | Furniture assembly, protective materials, insurance |
| 5 – 5.5 rooms | from CHF 1'830.–Küsnacht → Thalwil, approx. 3 km | Furniture assembly, protective materials, insurance |
| 6 – 6.5 rooms | from CHF 2'030.–Küsnacht → Zumikon, approx. 4 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.

Küsnacht at a glance
Küsnacht: from vineyard to lakeside residential municipality
If you are moving in Küsnacht, you benefit from a moving company that takes a close look at the town and its surroundings before moving day. Küsnacht lies on the eastern shore of Lake Zurich – the so-called Gold Coast – in the district of Meilen.
Our moving service covers all of Küsnacht, including Küsnachter Berg, Schmalzgrueb, Limberg, Wiserholz, Hohrüti and Wangen. Küsnacht borders Zumikon, Zollikon, Erlenbach, Herrliberg and Maur; we organise moves across the municipal boundary with one team and one quote. Küsnacht belongs to the district of Meilen in the canton of Zurich.

Moving in Küsnacht: what we pay attention to
Küsnacht lies on the Gold Coast of Lake Zurich and climbs steeply from the lakeshore in Goldbach and Heslibach up to Itschnach and on to hamlets such as Küsnachter Berg or Schmalzgrueb. If you are moving on the lake side, you will often deal with narrow, historically grown lanes; if you live further up, with steep and winding access roads. The Küsnacht municipal police are responsible for no-parking zones on public land; we take care of the application for you.
Küsnacht is one of the municipalities with the strongest tax base in Switzerland, and many properties are correspondingly demanding: from the former monastery complex around today's Johanniterhaus, which now houses the cantonal school, to villas on the hillsides with narrow private driveways and their own rules for deliveries. In the Seehof, once home to the first Swiss teacher training college and now to the C.G. Jung Institute, as well as around the ruins of Wulp Castle, the buildings have grown historically and there is correspondingly little space for large removal vans.
For the Private Move we clarify access and the no-parking zone with you in advance; for the Corporate relocation we coordinate the schedule with your business hours. Both with a cost ceiling, with no surprises on moving day.
Getting to know Küsnacht
Moving company Küsnacht: from former vineyard to your new home
Before Küsnacht became a residential municipality, it was one of the largest winegrowing areas on Lake Zurich. Vines have been documented here since the 12th century, the vineyard in Wangensbach as early as 1284. As late as 1886 the area under vines covered 148 hectares; by 1950 only three remained. Around 1624 Beat Werdmüller, builder of the castle in Wangensbach, also introduced silk production. Today 14,387 people live in the municipality (as of 2018), around 10 km as the crow flies from our base in Wallisellen.
How vineyards became residential neighbourhoods
After the Seestrasse and the railway line along the right shore of the lake were built, Küsnacht extended its building zone to almost the entire hillside in 1909. Within a few decades the vineyards were built over, and the old cores of Dorf, Heslibach and Kusen grew together. Where vines once stood, there are now houses on the slope.
For furniture transport this means: many addresses are not on level ground but on a gradient. As a moving company in Küsnacht, we therefore determine vehicle size and carrying route during the free viewing, on site or via WhatsApp video. Where space is tight, we use a furniture lift if needed.
Hamlets along the Küsnachter Dorfbach
The municipality covers 1236 hectares. Besides the village centre, Goldbach, Heslibach and the Itschnach neighbourhood, several hamlets and farmsteads along the upper course of the Dorfbach stream belong to it, right up to the Forch settlement. Around 28% of the area is forest, 35% fields and meadows. Itschnach, the higher-lying neighbourhood, borders directly on Zumikon.
- For addresses in Chaltenstein or on the Forch we plan access in advance.
- On the lakeshore and in the centre the parking spot is the priority; we organise the parking space reservation.
- You can store furniture with us that does not fit into your new flat for the time being.
Küsnacht ZH, not Küssnacht am Rigi
The Zurich municipality should not be confused with Küssnacht in the canton of Schwyz. With every enquiry we ask for the canton and postcode so that your moving day takes place in the right location. Incidentally, the name probably goes back to a Roman estate, "estate of Cossinius", whose remains were found on the Allmend in 1978.
There are no longer any settlement boundaries with Zollikon and Erlenbach, and Zumikon, Herrliberg and Maur also border the municipality. A move to the neighbourhood is therefore quickly planned: as a moving company for Zollikon, for a move to Erlenbach or up to Zumikon and Maur. On request we also move on Saturdays, and you will have a quote from your movers in Küsnacht within 24 hours.
Questions about Küsnacht
Are the Forch and Chaltenstein also part of your service area?
Yes. The Forch settlement and the hamlet of Chaltenstein lie on the upper course of the Küsnachter Dorfbach and belong to the municipality of Küsnacht. We clarify access and vehicle size for these addresses during the viewing.
How do you make sure the move does not end up in Küssnacht SZ?
Küsnacht on Lake Zurich and Küssnacht am Rigi in the canton of Schwyz are easily confused. We therefore check the canton and postcode with every enquiry before scheduling the date.
Local moving logistics
Removals in Küsnacht: Goldbach, Heslibach, Itschnach and the village centre
Küsnacht manages its parking space with its own parking concept and the K8700 zone. For moving day this means we clarify parking spot and permit early, from the lakeshore to the Forch.
Village centre on Zürichstrasse
According to the municipality, the Zürichstrasse car park is central for residents and businesses in the village centre. For moves in the centre we therefore reserve a dedicated parking spot for the removal van instead of hoping for free public spaces.
Goldbach and Heslibach on the lake
The districts of Goldbach in the north and Heslibach in the south lie directly on Lake Zurich, along which the Seestrasse and railway line run. Here we check whether the removal van stops on the Seestrasse or in a side street and how long the carrying route will be.
Itschnach on the border with Zumikon
The higher-lying Itschnach neighbourhood borders Zumikon. For a move between Itschnach and the lakeshore we plan two very different addresses: at the top access and gradient, at the bottom mainly the parking spot in the parking zone.
Parking reservation
Residents' registration officeIn Küsnacht, parking permits fall within the remit of the Einwohnerkontrolle in the Gemeindehaus (municipal building). We submit the parking spot application there; for tradespeople at work the municipality also offers day parking cards, and the authority charges the fee.
Disposal
The waste calendar of the municipality of Küsnacht shows when each collection runs; you take small quantities to a municipal collection point yourself. We dispose of discarded furniture, carpets or mattresses from the move properly for CHF 65.– per m³.
B2B
Office, practice and institute relocations in Küsnacht
The Seehof now houses the C. G. Jung Institute, alongside the Kantonsschule (cantonal secondary school) and the businesses in the village centre. We move offices and practices outside business hours, and libraries and files as archive relocations.

Küsnacht and its neighbours in the Meilen district

Frequently asked questions
Questions about moving in Küsnacht ZH
Who is responsible for the parking spot if I move from Goldbach to neighbouring Zollikon?
Each address has its own municipality: in Küsnacht we submit the application to the Einwohnerkontrolle, in Zollikon to the office there. Because there is no longer a visible settlement boundary between the two, we check exactly which municipality is responsible using the postal address and coordinate both permits for the same day.
How do movers load at a house in Wangensbach or on the Obere Schiedhalde?
With the former vineyard slope in mind: where vines grew until the 20th century, access to the front door now leads over steps and retaining walls. During the viewing we decide where the van can stand safely on the slope, pad outdoor steps and plan enough porters. Our carpenters dismantle bulky items beforehand.
How do you protect art, mirrors and glass furniture during a move on the Gold Coast?
With dedicated protection for every item: pictures, mirrors and glass panels are padded and packed individually, furniture is wrapped in woollen blankets and stretch film, and upholstery and mattresses go into covers. In the vehicle, straps secure every load, and felt pads protect the parquet of the new flat when setting up.
Where can the removal van park if the villa is only reachable via a private driveway?
Wherever the owners or property management allow. We ask you to pass on their delivery rules in advance and adjust vehicle size and loading area accordingly. If the driveway is too narrow or too steep, we load on the road and carry the rest, with floor protection laid right up to the entrance.
What do you pay attention to with a period flat in the historic surroundings of the Seehof?
The building fabric and the limited space. In historically evolved houses we protect wooden stairs, banisters and door frames particularly thoroughly and carry heavy items with several people. If a piece of furniture does not fit through the stairwell, our carpenters dismantle it or we lift it over a window with the furniture lift.
When does your team fix things if the property management in Küsnacht finds fault at the handover?
Immediately, during the handover appointment itself: with the booked end-of-tenancy cleaning including handover guarantee, our team is present at the flat handover and deals with complaints directly and free of charge. That way you sign the report at the same appointment and need no second inspection.
What is different about moving out of a farmstead in Limberg, Wiserholz or Hohrüti?
Mainly volume and routes: farmsteads along the upper Dorfbach usually have a shed, attic or cellar besides the living space that also need clearing. During the viewing we record all rooms, take discarded items straight for proper disposal and choose a vehicle that can turn on the farm driveways.
