As a township operating under the Faulkner Act, Parsippany-Troy Hills has a paid, full-time mayor and five township council members.

The mayor and council meet twice a month on Tuesdays at 7:30 p.m at town hall.

As in all Faulkner Act municipalities, citizens in the Mayor-Council system have the right to propose ordinances without action by the mayor and council. A resident may prepare and submit a petition signed by 10 percent of the registered voters who turned out in the last general election in an odd-numbered year. Once the petition is submitted, the Township Council can vote to pass the requested ordinance. If the members opt not to vote on the mesaure, it goes directly to the voters.

Below is a list of officials and township boards and committees.
