Within the framework of administrative divisions, Belebeyevsky District is one of the fifty-four in the Republic of Bashkortostan.[1] It is divided into one settlement council (with the administrative center in the work settlement of Priyutovo) and fifteen selsoviets, which comprise eighty-eight rural localities.[6] The town of Belebey serves as the administrative center of the district,[3] despite being incorporated separately as a town of republic significance—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts.[6]
