About
Welcome to Kiawah Island!
All property owners become members of the Kiawah Island Community Association (KICA) upon purchase of their property. Whether you are a full-time resident, part-time or simply vacation here on Kiawah Island, the KICA staff is always here to help you.
Behind the lifestyle we enjoy on the island is the ingredient that's central to its longevity – the Kiawah Island Community Association. KICA was incorporated in 1976 to help preserve the values that brought us here in the first place, to safeguard our investment of dollars and to protect our investment in quality of life. Your association maintains and insures the millions of dollars worth of roads, ponds, facilities, parks and open areas built or conveyed by the developer. These facilities are owned in common by all of us, and help to enrich life on the island. The association also seeks to foster a sense of community through social and recreational programs.
