Chattahoochee Hills operates under a Mayor-Council form of government. The City Council consists of five members, who represent specific districts within the city, alongside a Mayor who is elected at-large.
The local government is highly focused on managing the city's master plan, enforcing its unique zoning codes, and expanding parks and recreation. Despite its rural character, the city provides core municipal services, including its own police and fire departments, which operate out of strategic locations to cover the large, sparsely populated terrain.
