Administrative, territorial, and municipal division of the Altai Republic is regulated by the Law #12-15 of the Altai Republic, passed by the State Assembly—El Kurultai on June 2, 1999, with subsequent amendments. The Law established the following classification:

  • administrative units (административно-территориальные единицы)
    • district (район)—an administrative unit under jurisdiction of the Republic, governing a certain territory. Districts are governed from an administrative center.
    • selsovet (сельсовет)—a municipal unit under jurisdiction of a district comprising one or several settlements.
    • dyuchina (дючина)—national administrative unit for local self-governing of the native peoples. Dyuchinas would have the same administrative status as selsovets, but they have not been implemented in practice.
  • inhabited localities (населённые пункты):
    • urban settlements (городские поселения):
      • city/town (город);
      • urban-type settlement (посёлок городского типа); not implemented in practice;
      • resort settlement (курортный посёлок); not implemented in practice;
      • suburban (dacha) settlement (дачный посёлок); not implemented in practice
    • rural settlements (сельские поселения)—settlements that do not satisfy the criteria for urban settlements:
      • selo (село);
      • settlement (посёлок);
      • village (деревня);
      • other types of rural settlements
    • closed settlement (закрытое административно-территориальное образование)—territories under the federal government management with travel and residency restrictions; usually military objects. Closed settlements have not been implemented in practice.
