Its different for everyone, but its usually in late teens to early twenties. What they are looking for is when you are done with puberty and your growth plates are more mature and have stopped growing so rapidly.

Usually they say 2 years after a girls first period. That being said, my sister got hers at 13, and didn't stop growing until she was 19. I basically stopped growing at 14, but I filled out more, and gained about half an inch since then, so I pretty much match the scientific "rule" of two years.

"after your done growing" usually means 18 years old

That won't be until you're about 18 - 20.
