What should Johns Island residents know before applying?

Before applying for any program or permit on Johns Island, residents should confirm exactly which agency administers it, since some programs run through the town, some through Charleston County, and others through state agencies, each with different eligibility rules. Gathering income documentation and property records ahead of time also speeds up most application processes considerably.
