Within the framework of administrative divisions, Dyurtyulinsky District is one of the fifty-four in the Republic of Bashkortostan.[1] It is divided into fourteen selsoviets, comprising eighty-six rural localities.[6] The town of Dyurtyuli serves as its administrative center,[3] despite being incorporated separately as a town of republic significance—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts (and which, in addition to Dyurtyuli, also includes one rural locality).[6]
