It also operates Evenes lufthavn (regional airport).

Service delivery runs through the municipal headquarters (Rådhuset) at Bergvikveien 11, Bogen i Ofoten, supplemented by distributed facilities (care center, school, kindergartens, library) and a digital citizen portal (Min Side). The organization's underlying technology is standard municipal IT infrastructure with a website-based service delivery platform, with no proprietary AI, API, or advanced data systems disclosed.

The municipality is funded through three primary revenue streams: municipal taxes on residents and businesses, state funding and subsidies (including growth-related grants tied to population), and user fees (kindergarten, building permits, vaccination, service charges). Pricing is published annually in the Betalingssatser 2026 document. Strategic priorities include population growth (Q1 2026 added 35 residents), the Evenes Industrial Seaport regulatory plan, emergency preparedness cooperation with neighboring Narvik, Gratangen, and Lødingen municipalities, and hosting of the Arctic Race of Norway 2026. The municipality reported a 2025 net operating surplus of 1.1 million NOK.
