Lake Kiowa is governed by the Lake Kiowa Property Owners Association, which is owned by the property owners themselves as the community is almost totally built out (all lots previously owned by the developers were sold as of 2017; the only vacant lots remaining are owned by private individuals). The Association is led by a nine member elected board of directors, with each director serving a three year term. The terms are offset with three directors up for election each year. The Association maintains the community's amenities as well as its roads (the community's main road, Kiowa Drive, loops around the lake and crosses over its dam). The Association provides private security, limited to writing speeding/parking tickets and enforcing community rules. Police protection is provided by the Cooke County Sheriff's Department and, to a lesser extent, the nearby Gainesville Police Department. Fire and emergency services are provided by the Indian Creek Volunteer Fire Department which serves Lake Kiowa and the surrounding area. The Lake Kiowa Special Utility District maintains the water supply. Trash pickup is provided by the Association through a private contractor (recycling is no longer offered as of 2018, outside of aluminum can donation sites for the local Kiwanis Club). Sewer service is not available; homes must install and maintain an operative septic system. The Callisburg Independent School District serves students residing in Lake Kiowa.

The Association owns the amenities offered by the community, which are centered around its namesake lake (a private lake). The lake is large enough for skiing, tubing, and other controlled boating activities, though wake boats must disable their ballast system to prevent damage to private boat docks and sea walls. Fishing is permitted and abundant fish reside in the lake; the Lake Kiowa Anglers and Conservation Club maintains the small and large fishing areas provided. In addition, the Association also operates a private 18 hole golf course. Two different beach areas offer swimming, volleyball, tennis, and other opportunities. Each beach has picnic areas and a large pavilion is located at the Lodge (the community clubhouse and restaurant/bar). A nine hole disc golf course is also available.
