As do most townships in Michigan, Mundy Township in Genesee County has a Supervisor-Board form of government. In this form of government, three members of the Board of Trustees are executives: Supervisor (being the township's chief executive), Clerk and Treasurer. There are four additional trustees elected to the Board.
Roads are administrated by the Genesee County Road Commission while schools are primarily handled by Carman-Ainsworth and the Swartz Creek School Districts. Police services, starting February 1, 2017, are taken care of by the Metro Police Authority of Genesee County, of which Mundy is a member. The Genesee District Library levies .998 mills.

Guigear in attempt to meet over regionalization of building department, code enforcement, janitorial and especial police. After approving a share services agreement with Mundy in October 2014, the city had Mundy's police chief serve as chief on Clolinger's retirement date of November 1, 2014. Clolinger started part-time as deputy chief for Mundy on that date. Mundy's and Swartz Creek's officers were sworn into the other department on January 14, 2015 following a period of working in each other's jurisdiction.
Mundy Township Board approved the interlocal agreement on October 12, 2015 with one no vote. Original Mundy board authority members appointed were Trustee Kay Doerr, Township Clerk Tonya Ketzler and Treasurer Joe Oskey. Swartz Creek passed the agreement on October 26 with a vote of 5 to 2. A final merger vote would take place in six months. Original Mundy board authority members appointed were Mayor David Krueger and Councilman Dennis Pinkston and Curt Porath.
On December 9, 2015, the Regional Police Authority Board met for the first time with officers selected were City Councilman Curt Porath as chair and Township Trustee Kay Doerr as vice chair. A tour of a potential new HQ building for the authority was toured.
On January 9, 2016, the Swartz Creek City Council voted 6 to 1 to disband its police department by merging the department with Mundy Township's into the Metro Police Authority of Genesee County effective February 1, 2016 following Mundy's approval. By November 23, 2017, the authority began working out of its new headquarters.
In May 2018, Interim Chief Lieutenant Matthew Bade was selected as permanent chief over former Swartz Creek Police Chief/Mundy Township Deputy Chief Rick Clolinger following the February retirement of Police Chief Dan Atkinson. On October 1, 2019, the city turned over the operation of the city’s parking violations bureau to the Metro Police Authority.
At the late November 2018 meeting, the authority board selected Simen, Figura & Parker to prosecute all of the local ordinance violations for the authority. Mundy Township moved to be removed from this arrangement at the advice of its attorney, who did not bid to provide the service.
