Under the Verwaltungsvereinfachungsgesetz (“Administration Simplification Law”) of 18 July 1970, with effect from 7 November 1970, the municipality was grouped into the Verbandsgemeinde of Zell.

The municipal election held on 7 June 2009 yielded the following results:[3] Bullay’s mayor is Matthias Müller, and his deputies are Willi Schumacher, Oswald Menten and Thomas Scheidt.

The following are listed buildings or sites in Rhineland-Palatinate’s Directory of Cultural Monuments: The double-deck bridge mentioned above is the Alf-Bullay bridge, which carries a roadway across the Moselle on the lower deck, and the Moselbahn – the Koblenz-Trier railway line – on the upper deck.

Bullay is linked by the double-deck bridge to the Moselle’s left bank, and thereby to Bundesstraßen 49 (towards Koblenz) and 53 (towards Trier).

Bullay lies on the Koblenz-Trier line, completed in 1879, over which it is linked to the Deutsche Bahn InterCity network.
