Is it tricky to get into a school in another county?

We will be moving to another county this summer. Their LEA website states that those relocating from another county need to contact their own county regarding school places. So yesterday I sent our LEA an email but have not had a reply yet. Are they are going to check which primary schools have places and then give us a list of schools or how does it work? We know where we would like to live but school first.
Thanks

Thank you tiggytape for a very informative response!
Right now I am feeling like not moving at all. What a bad timing to look for schools.
We have been told by our LEA to contact schools regarding places. If there are places we should apply through our county. I know that usually schools do not have information about the allocated spaces or am I wrong? Shall I contact the school direcrly or ask its LEA?
Many thanks again.
