The population of the village is included in the civil parish of Aylesham, Kent. As a result, Snowdown is served by Aylesham Parish Council. The District Authority is Dover District Council and the County Authority is Kent County Council. There are roughly 54 houses in Snowdown.
In April 2021, Snowdown was the scene of the death of Julia James.[2] The PCSO was found dead in woodland.[3]
