Village of East Hampton

What Village of East Hampton does

The Village of East Hampton is an incorporated municipal government entity in Suffolk County, Long Island, New York, operating under a Board of Trustees form of government since its incorporation in 1895. It serves village residents and a substantial seasonal visitor population through core public services including beach access management across five protected beaches, building and special-event permitting, downtown and beach parking enforcement, public safety, and general municipal administration. Main Beach carried a sustained #1 beach in America designation across multiple years (2003-2013), establishing a durable reputational premium for the jurisdiction.

The Village operates a modest technology stack centered on a ProudCity-powered website launched in May 2023, a Digital Permit Portal, ParkMobile payment integration for beach and downtown parking, and License Plate Recognition (LPR) systems for automated parking enforcement. It runs partner-supported programs including a Circuit electric shuttle service and collaborates with the East Hampton Historical Society on cultural assets such as the Dominy Shops Museum. Active capital projects include a sewer system infrastructure build with engineering partner H2M Architects and the Herrick Park renovation.

The Village's revenue model is a typical municipal mix: property taxes form the tax base, supplemented by beach parking permits (including a capped allocation of 3,100 non-resident full-season permits), building permit fees, special event permits, and downtown parking fees. The organization employs approximately 37 staff and is governed by an elected Board of Trustees, with advisory input from village commissions on planning, zoning, historic preservation, and other regulatory matters. Operational scope is bounded by the Village's statutory jurisdiction, with seasonal demand swings driven by summer tourism on the South Fork.
