Deltona is the largest city in Volusia County, a planned community of single-family homes that grew up between I-4, Lake Monroe, and the lakes of the Theresa Basin. Black Swan Moving is based next door in Orange City, so Deltona is home turf for us. We plan each move around the things that matter here: septic tanks and soft yards, once-a-week trash day, the city's water notice rules, and the I-4 exits you will use every day.
Deltona covers about 41 square miles, more than three of them water, and most of the rest is single-family streets. The house may look like the one next door, but the moving day changes a lot depending on where in the city it is.
In 1962 the Mackle Brothers laid out a community of more than 35,000 lots, and the first residents moved in during 1963. Many of those early streets are lined with single-story concrete-block homes with carports or one-car garages. They load quickly, and most of the time goes to the garage, the shed, and the attic.
Saxon Boulevard runs east from I-4 Exit 111 past shopping centers, the Dewey O. Boster Sports Complex, apartments, and townhomes. It is the busiest road in town at rush hour, so we usually schedule loading on this side of the city for the morning.
Toward DeBary and Lake Monroe, Providence Boulevard and Deltona Boulevard lead to older neighborhoods, Thornby Park, and the Lake Monroe boat ramp. Mature oaks and narrow driveways are common, so we check overhead branches before we back the truck in.
The eastern half of the city drains into a chain of connected lakes with no natural outlet. Lakefront homes here often have sloped back yards, docks, and screened porches. Tell us about kayaks, boats, and outdoor furniture early, because loading the yard can take as long as the living room.
Out along Howland Boulevard and toward Osteen, newer subdivisions have two-story floor plans, HOA rules, and some gated entries. New subdivisions are built with city sewer instead of septic, but HOA truck-parking and move-hour rules are worth checking before you book.
Deltona has many rented single-family homes plus apartment and townhome communities near Saxon and Howland. Renters should line up the lease, the water application, and the move-out walk-through together, because the city needs proof of the lease to start water in your name.
Most Deltona moves start in one of these two kinds of homes. The crew, the truck position, and the timing change with each.
One story, quick inside, careful outside.
Bigger rooms, more stairs, more rules.
Many Deltona moves are local: from a starter home to a bigger house across town, from a rental into a first home, or from Deltona to DeBary, Orange City, or DeLand. On a short move, most of the time goes to loading and unloading, not driving, so careful wrapping and good planning matter more than distance. See how our local moves work or what affects the price of a move.
Deltona Water does not do same-day turn-ons, and trash only comes once a week. If you move on a Friday or Saturday, as many families do, handle these four steps early.
Most Deltona homes were built before city sewer reached their streets. Local reporting puts the share of homes on septic systems at roughly four out of five.

Deltona sits on the east side of I-4 between Orlando and Daytona Beach. Local moves are quick as long as you plan around the commute.
| Route | What it means on moving day |
|---|---|
| I-4 Exits 108, 111 & 114 | Exit 108 (DeBary Avenue and Dirksen Drive) serves southwest Deltona and DeBary. Exit 111 is Saxon Boulevard. Exit 114 (SR 472) leads to Howland Boulevard and east Deltona. Moves toward Seminole and Orange counties start early to stay ahead of rush-hour traffic toward Orlando. |
| Saxon Boulevard | The main shopping corridor, running from I-4 into the middle of the city. It connects to Orange City and our base on the other side of the interstate. |
| Howland & Providence Boulevards | Howland is the main north–south route through newer east Deltona. Providence runs from the Lake Monroe area past City Hall and the library. Both are the usual routes for moves within the city. |
| Doyle Road & SR 415 | Doyle Road runs east along the south side of the city toward SR 415 and Osteen. SR 415 leads south to Sanford, a common route for moves into Seminole County. |
| SunRail at DeBary | The closest commuter rail station is just southwest in DeBary. It helps if you commute to Orlando or need to meet the truck at the new home. |
Deltona is mostly neighborhoods, but there is plenty of open space and water close by.
Volusia County protects 360 acres of Florida scrub next to the Deltona Regional Library, with trails and a good chance of seeing a Florida scrub-jay.
On Providence Boulevard near the lake, with paths and views over Lake Monroe. The Lake Monroe boat ramp is close by.
The city's big sports complex on Saxon Boulevard hosts youth leagues and is a quick way to meet other families.

A bit of history: long before Deltona existed, steamboats ran up the St. Johns River to Lake Monroe, and the town of Enterprise grew up at the landing. In 1962 the Mackle Brothers bought 17,203 acres and planned 35,143 lots. Residents voted to incorporate in September 1995, after two earlier attempts failed, and Deltona became a city on December 31, 1995. In 2003 the city bought its water and sewer system and started Deltona Water.

Quoted exactly as customers wrote them.
We just bought a new home and was going to do the move ourself then we realized it would be to much for us. So at the last minute I started looking for moving companies when I came across black swan moving. I figured i would give them a try. when i called i spoke with Amber who set up the move over the phone and gave me a quote for the job . She was professional and very courteous a pleasure to talk to over the phone outstanding customer service. And let me tell you, oh my god it was the best decision I made. Let me tell you they are very professional and courteous they answered any questions we had and the two movers Bryant and Jerry talk about great service they were both phenomenal. I have to say if and when I need a moving company again they will always have my business. One last thing as far as price they are very reasonable and they get the job done .if I could give them ten stars I would.
Moving is a stressful, time-consuming, nerve-racking ordeal, whether it is a cross town, or across the country. Black Swan Moving made my latest move easy, and one of my best experiences. We will definitely use again in the future. I requested an online quote and received a detailed email almost immediately. Bryant took my call, information and logistics when I scheduled the move was helpful, accommodating, and very courteous. I got a reminder call the day before our move, and a text message from the driver the day of the move, when they were on the way to my place and they arrived right on time. They loaded everything in our home, yard and outside storage quickly, efficiently, and safely; then unloaded it even faster. They were prepared with blankets, plastic wraps, cardboard, and handled everything with great attention and care. It could not have been better, it even came in under my estimate! Greatly appreciated Black Swan Moving.
Jerry arrived exactly on time, started work right away. All my furniture was expertly wrapped and great care was taken of my fragile items. They worked non stop and were cheerful and accommodating, which makes the move less stressful. Definitely use these guys again and you can tell this is a family business as they really care in customer satisfaction. Bryant at the office was very responsive and answered all questions quickly before I booked. So glad I chose Black Swan as the move went so smoothly.
Black Swan Moving did an incredible job! They are very professional and friendly. Everything was wrapped, and they took great care to not damage any of my belongings. Bryant, Jerry, Conroy, and Emmanuel are awesome at their job. They are a wonderful asset to your company. I highly recommend Black Swan Moving. I could not be happier with the job that they did.
Deltona borders DeBary and Orange City, and we serve all of west Volusia, Seminole County, and the coast every week.
The City of Deltona runs its own water and sewer utility, Deltona Water. Apply online, by email, by fax, or in person at 2345 Providence Blvd. with a government-issued photo ID and either proof of ownership (a recorded deed, or a signed ALTA statement or closing disclosure for a new purchase) or a lease signed by both the owner and tenant. Deposits and the service fee are added to your first bill.
No. The city does not offer same-day service and needs at least one business day of notice to turn water on or off. Applications sent by email can take up to three business days to process, so apply about a week before your move.
It depends on the street. Deltona is split between Duke Energy and FPL, so check the provider for your exact address before you call to start service. The Florida Public Service Commission has a service-area lookup that helps.
Deltona trash is picked up once a week by Waste Pro, Monday through Friday depending on your street. Bulk items such as furniture go out on that same day, limited to four pieces per week, and everything must be at the curb by 6 a.m. For large appliances, call the city Solid Waste Division at 386-878-8723 or Waste Pro at 386-574-0723 to schedule a free claw pickup. The city suspended curbside recycling in 2019.
Not if we know where it is. Most Deltona homes use septic systems instead of city sewer, and a loaded box truck should never drive or park over a tank or drainfield. Tell us where yours is, and we will keep the truck on the driveway or the street.
Yes. Deltona has dozens of lakes, and many in the eastern half of the city sit in the Theresa Basin, a closed basin that drains only slowly. After Hurricanes Ian and Nicole in 2022, lake levels there rose by up to 3.5 feet and flooding lasted into 2023. If you are buying near a lake, check the FEMA flood zone and the city's Theresa Basin flood study before you close. On moving day, we plan for sloped yards and long carries to the street.
Yes. Our office is in Orange City, right next to Deltona, so we move people across west Volusia every week, including DeBary, Orange City, DeLand, Lake Helen, and the unincorporated Enterprise and Osteen areas. We also move people from Deltona to Seminole and Orange counties and out of state.
Two to four weeks is comfortable for most homes. Saturdays and the last week of the month fill first, because that is when most leases end and many closings happen. If your date is close, call us and we will check the schedule.
Tell us about both homes: one story or two, lake lot or subdivision, where the septic tank is, the gate code, and your date. We will plan the crew and the timing around them. Prefer to talk it through? Give us a call.
