Hilton Head Plantation New Residents---Some Helpful Information

Whether you are new to Hilton Head Plantation or just beginning to explore the possibility of purchasing or renting real estate in the Plantation, these tips may be helpful in establishing residency. It's certainly nothing complicated but I know that coming from a different geographical area, we just need to learn the customs in our local communities.

The first thing you'll need to do is to stop by the POA Service Center to get your property owner's decals. They'll also give you a PIN number that you can use to call in passes for visitors. The folks at the POA will register your car (even your dogs and cats) and get you all settled in.

To arrange electrical service, contact PALMETTO ELECTRIC @ 681-5551. (You'll probably find that your lawyer's office has already accomplished this if you are purchasing a property.)

Cable Service is available from TIME WARNER --800-208-6030. They also offer phone service which I have found to work flawlessly, somewhat more cost competitive plus I enjoy all of the extra perks that come with their service.

Most importantly, you will need to visit the SOUTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES (815-6981) to take care of your vehicle registration.

And yes, there is just 1 more assignment for you----STOP AND SMELL THE ROSES, JASMINE OR WHATEVER IS IN SEASON---GRAB YOUR BIKES AND HEAD OUT TO DOLPHIN HEAD PARK AT THE END OF THE DAY--after all, you moved here for a different lifestyle right?? ENJOY!
