It provides a range of core civic services including business licensing (commercial, home-based, contractor, seasonal, and short-term rental/B&B permits, capped at 65), planning and zoning administration (building, demolition, fence, pool, solar, sign, excavation, and site development permits), public safety coordination under Joint Powers Agreements with the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office and Fire and Rescue Department, animal care, municipal court, agriculture programs, and parks and recreation management. Its operating geography is a single domestic jurisdiction anchored around Village Hall at 6718 Rio Grande Blvd NW.

The Village's revenue model is built on four streams: a Gross Receipts Tax (GRT) of 7.875% (effective July 1, 2026, increased from 7.625%, Village GRT Location Code 02-200), annual business license and permit fees (e.g., commercial license $35, home-based $50, seasonal $35), facility rentals for the Alfredo Garcia Community Barn ($500-$1,500/day) and the 40-acre Larry P. Abraham Agri-Nature Center ($1,500-$3,000/day), and miscellaneous event/equipment/film permit fees. The Village operates a public-private partnership with Palindrome Communities LLC for the 12-acre Village Center Project at 4th and Osuna (under a Metropolitan Redevelopment Area designation since 2007 and an MRA Plan adopted in March 2018), with demolition beginning in June 2022 following an October 2020 Development Agreement. Major capital projects include 4th Street Revitalization Phase 2 (estimated $27.7M total construction cost) and the NMDOT-funded Chavez Road Multi-Use Trail Project ($2.05M, with a $1.76M NMDOT award plus $299K Village match). The entity has 1-10 employees and uses standard civic infrastructure — Squarespace-hosted website, online portals for license renewals (with 3.16% processing fee), email, and Joint Powers Agreements for service delivery — with no disclosed software product or API offering.
