The Parsippany - Troy Hills Township's form of government is the Mayor - Council Plan under the Faulkner Act, also known as The Optional Municipal Charter Law. This form of government is similar to that of federal and state governments. One can liken this form of government to a presidential system.

Under the Faulkner Act, the Mayor and Council are separately elected, with the Mayor serving as the chief executive officer, and the Council serving in the capacity of a legislative body.

Some responsibilities of the Mayor include preparation of the budget, enforcement of the ordinances, supervision of municipal departments and property, execution of Council policies, and oversight of other functions of the municipality. Some of the responsibilities of the Council include adopting ordinances, approval of contracts presented by the Mayor, scheduling times and places for council meetings and designation of the official newspapers of the municipality.
