Town operations fall under the authority of a Town Manager appointed by the Board of Commissioners. The Manager is also the statutory budget officer of the town and is delegated additional authorities and responsibilities by the locally elected officials. For example, 

The Town is organized into four formal departments:

• Administration and Governing 
• Planning and Zoning
• Police
• Public Works

The Town Manager, Town Clerk, and Finance staff comprise staffing for the Administration and Governing department. 

Woodfin does not have dedicated parks and recreation  staff. The Project & Facilities Manager is responsible for project management, parks and recreation contracts administration, and parks planning; the Public Works department is responsible for parks maintenance.
