Administrative and municipal status

Within the framework of administrative divisions, Muysky District is one of the twenty-one in the Republic of Buryatia. It is divided into two urban-type settlements (administrative divisions with the administrative centers, correspondingly, in the urban-type settlements (inhabited localities) of Severomuysk and Taksimo) and two selsoviets, which comprise six rural localities. As a municipal division, the district is incorporated as Muysky Municipal District. Severomuysk Urban-Type Settlement is incorporated as an urban settlement within the municipal district. The other urban settlement within the municipal district incorporates two administrative divisions—Taksimo Urban-Type Settlement and Bambuysky Selsoviet.[4] The remaining selsoviet is incorporated as a rural settlement within the municipal district. The urban-type settlement of Taksimo serves as the administrative center of both the administrative and municipal district.
