The Town of Troy has a progressive government with a myriad of excellent services and functions. Troy operates under the Council-Manager form of government. The Town Manager works directly for the Board of Commissioners and oversees all departments of the Town. The Mayor and Board work along with the Town Manager to make sure the town runs efficiently. Mayoral elections are held every two years and the five Board members serve staggered four-year terms. These elections are non-partisan and voters in Troy have the opportunity to vote on all Board members since municipal elections are not held by districts.
