Administrative division

The Berehove district (raion) consists of one town municipality and 30 rural municipalities, all of which also have their respective administrative councils (rada). The administrative center of the district is situated in the city of Berehovo which is not part of the district administration. The city of Berehovo was designated into a special city municipality of regional significance in 2001. Some of the municipalities of the district consist of several settlements, mostly rural.
