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

The Town is organized into five departments:

• Administration
• Parks & Recreation
• Planning and Zoning
• Police
• Public Works

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.
