The Village of Rye Brook is located in the 18th Congressional, the 36th State Senatorial, the 85th State Assembly and the 6th County Legislative districts.
Much of the work governing the Village is done by unsalaried volunteers. This includes the Mayor, the Board of Trustees, and our village boards, committees, commissions and councils. The spirit of self-determination and active participation so evident in Rye Brook today is in the finest tradition established by the Town’s first settlers more than three hundred years ago.
Rye Brook operates under the Village Law, General Municipal Law, and Local Finance Law, as well as the Municipal Home Rule and the Statute of Local Governments which grants home rule power.
The Village is governed by a Mayor, who is the chief executive officer of the village, and a Board of Trustees who appoint the Village Administrator. As Chief Administrative Officer for the Village Board, the Administrator supervises all Village operations through the department heads and, in other cases, as prescribed by law.
