Johns Island answers to two governments. Some parcels are inside City of Charleston limits. Others are unincorporated Charleston County, and which one you are in decides who handles a permit.⁠¹ Charleston County set an Urban Growth Boundary in 1999. The City’s 2007 Johns Island plan says it protects rural and agricultural land and steers suburban growth to the parts of the island already urbanizing.⁠² Inside that line, the plan counted about 3,873 parcels. Of those, 2,413 were in the City. The rest were unincorporated county.⁠³ The island also has unincorporated pockets that touch city limits but stay under county jurisdiction.⁠⁴ Check your own parcel before you plan street placement.

Kiawah Island and Seabrook Island are separate towns. This page does not cover their rules.⁠⁵

What trash pickup will not take on Johns Island

Inside city limits, City trash service does not collect debris from a hired contractor or builder.⁠¹⁷ Under City Ordinance Sec. 14-51, that covers bricks, lumber, mortar, plaster, roofing, guttering, and tree debris.⁠¹⁸ Refuse from your own construction or renovation work, as owner or resident, is capped at 90 gallons per trash collection cycle.⁠¹⁸ The City’s routine single-family pickup also lists concrete, dirt, sod, sand, plaster, and carpet as unacceptable.⁠¹⁹

On an unincorporated address, do not count on the county. Charleston County Environmental Management does not collect trash, bulk waste, or yard waste. Municipalities and Public Service Districts do, so confirm who your hauler is.⁠²⁰
