Do you have to be a town owner from v5 to apply for a town? I remember reading that somewhere a long time ago. Also would being a sub-mayor count?

To pre-apply (as in apply now when it's not even up) and be automatically accepted you have to be a V5 mayor. I don't think sub-mayors count if I recall correctly.
Anyone can apply to be a mayor once V6 is started and you have the money to make the town.
