Government
Midway City incorporates its chamber of commerce and homeowners association to act in concert like a city council. The council discusses municipal topics such as lights, water supply, zoning, and neighborhood watch. Monthly meetings take place at the Midway City Community Center in Stanton Park on Bolsa Avenue, where citizens often bring homemade cakes and other food dishes to be shared among the group to these potlucks meetings. The Midway City representatives typically discuss street lights, water supply, zoning, and neighborhood watch and their decisions usually are made final by the Orange County Board of Supervisors.
Law enforcement services are provided by the Orange County Sheriff's Department, while the California Highway Patrol is responsible for traffic enforcement. Fire protection in Midway City is provided by the Orange County Fire Authority with ambulance transport by Care Ambulance Service.
