Village Government
The Village of Yellow Springs is a charter municipality with a Council-Manager form of government. Village government is led by a five-person non-partisan council, with 3 members electd every 2 years. Council appoints the Village Manager, as well as a number of citizen advisory boards and commissions. The Mayor presides over Mayor's Court with jurisdiction in civil and criminal cases, as provided by Ohio Law. Participation in village council meetings is encouraged and meetings are also televised on the local public access cable channel.

Township Government
The Miami Township government is led by 3 township trustees, elected to 4 year terms. The township clerk is also elected by the citizens. The local fire department is run by the township.

Public Schools
The borders of the public school district roughly coincide with the township. The district is led by a 5-member Board of Education, each member elected to a 4-year term. The district is an exempted village school district, organized in 1956 (prior to that date, the schools were a part of the County schools).
