Are you unhappy with where you decided to place a building? Do you want to reorganise your town? Are you fed up with animals who are housed near you wandering through your yard? Well don’t fret, as New Horizons allows players to move buildings.

Post Office, an expanded Museum and even new shops might be coming to Animal Crossing New Horizons!

How To Move A Building:

Whilst you won’t be able to move buildings straight away in New Horizons, it will become possible as you progress through the game. In order to move a building or house that you have placed, you will need to have built the Resident Services building. In order to unlock the Resident Services building, you will need to have built 3 houses, a bridge, Nook’s Cranny, and the museum.

Once you have unlocked the Resident Services building, head inside and talk with Tom Nook, and choose the ‘let’s talk infrastructure’ option and ask for layout changes. You will then be able to choose from a list of buiding types to relocate. These include the museum, shops, and other residents’ homes. The only building that can’t be moved is the Resident Services building itself.

The Cost Of Moving Buildings:

Relocating a building on your island will incur a fee. It will cost you 50,000 bells to move another resident’s home, a shop, or any other building that you do not own. It will cost you 30,000 bells in order to relocate your own home.

How To Move Your Own Home:

To move your house, you will again need to speak with Tom Nook in the Residents Services building. This time, you will need to choose the ‘About my home’ option where you can then opt to relocate your house.

If you make the decision to move a building, you will get a kit from Tom Nook in order to select the new location. This will work in the same manner as when you first placed the building. Simply find your desired spot, and providing it’s a relatively open space with no water or cliffs nearby, you will be able to place your building there. Your building will then appear in your chosen spot the next day.
