It serves a population of approximately 9,000 residents across the main Gomaringen district (8,765) and the incorporated Stockach district (486), spread over a 1,730-hectare municipal area that includes approximately 495 hectares of forestry and 800 hectares of agricultural land. The municipality provides the full range of mandated local-government services: resident registration (Bürgerbüro), civil registry (Standesamt, including castle weddings at Schloss Gomaringen), building permits, child-care, public transport coordination, waste and water utilities, the volunteer fire department, cultural venues, and a public library with digital lending (onleihe Neckar-Alb). Approximately 1,850 jobs are located within the municipality and ~1,050 residents commute out, primarily to Reutlingen and Tübingen.

The municipality operates a TYPO3 CMS-based responsive website (WCAG 2.1 Level A self-assessed), integrated citizen services including online appointment booking and the Elektronische Wohnsitzanmeldung (EWA), a public Bürger-GIS geoinformation system, and Matomo Analytics for web traffic analysis. Distribution channels include the in-person Bürgerbüro, online self-service portals, and the weekly Amtsblatt printed by Nussbaum Medien and distributed to all households. Gomaringen is the seat of the Gemeindeverwaltungsverband Steinlach-Wiesaz (formed 1975), which coordinates shared administrative services with Dußlingen and Nehren, and maintains a twin-town partnership with Arcis-sur-Aube, France, established in 1976.

Revenue is derived from municipal taxes (Grundsteuer A and B), administrative fees for identity documents, civil registry, and building permits, and recurring utility charges for water, waste, sewage, and cemetery services. The municipality is governed by a directly elected mayor (Bürgermeister Steffen Heß) and a municipal council; the administration relocated from Rathausstraße 4 to the renovated former Kindlersche Fabrik at Lindenstraße 63 in spring 2020.
