Since 2011, the Village of Loch Arbour has been governed under the Walsh Act form of government. The village is one of 30 municipalities (of the 565) statewide that use this commission form of government. The governing body is comprised of a Board of Commissioners, whose three members are chosen by the voters at-large on a non-partisan basis to serve concurrent three-year terms of office as part of the May municipal election. At a reorganization meeting held after each election, each commissioner is assigned a department to oversee and administer, and the commissioners select one of their members to serve as mayor and another as deputy mayor.
