The municipality also operates a wholly-owned enterprise, Måsøy Næring og Havn KF, providing business development and harbor services.

The technology stack is standard Norwegian municipal enterprise software: Visma Enterprise for HR and resource management, WebSak+ for case and document management, Matrikkel for the national property registry, ACOS Møteportal+ for council meeting documentation and video recordings, Famac for document/records management, Compilo for compliance and quality management, KOSTRAhjelp (provided by DIBkunnskap AS) for municipal accounting and VAT coding, and an internal Minside employee portal. Service distribution is omnichannel: in-person at Rådhuset (Torget 1, Havøysund), online self-service portals, telephone (central switchboard 78 42 40 00 plus department lines), 24/7 on-call technical and fire emergency numbers, home-visit healthcare delivery, and distributed fire/emergency stations across the island communities. The kommunevåpenet (coat of arms) was approved on September 7, 1984, designed by Arvid Svenn, displaying a golden shuttle (høtt) on a red field to reflect the fishing-village heritage captured in the municipal slogan 'tar vare på folk og fisk'.
