The [[Federal District (Brazil)|Federal District]] is divided into 35 [[Administrative regions of the Federal District (Brazil)|administrative regions]].

The division of the Federal District into [[List of administrative regions of the Federal District (Brazil)|administrative regions]] was made official through Law No. 4,545/64. Before this law, the Federal District had an administration similar to an ordinary [[city-state]] with its own city hall (Prefeitura do Distrito Federal).

The administrative regions are territorial subdivisions of the [[Federal District (Brazil)|Federal District]], for which physical limits, established by public power, define the jurisdiction of government action for purposes of administrative decentralization and coordination of public services of a local nature.

Broadly speaking, the administrative region is the set of urban, suburban and rural areas belonging to the control of an urban center (seat of the administrative region), as a municipality. Although they are comparable to [[Municipalities of Brazil|municipalities]] in the [[States of Brazil|states]], administrative regions have different forms of administration and governance, respecting Federal District's centrality.

Each regional administration is commanded by a [[regional administrator]], who is indicated by the governor of the Federal District. The administrators has most tasks reserved for [[mayor]]s in the [[States of Brazil|states]], but some of them (municipality-only matters) are handled directly by the governor itself.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://sistemasweb.desenvolvimento.gov.br/investimento_web/arquivos/legislacao_leiorganica.pdf |title= Lei Orgânica do Distrito Federal |publisher=Portal CLDF |language=pt |accessdate=2012-08-24}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.brasilia.df.gov.br/005/00502001.asp?ttCD_CHAVE=4352 |title=Estrutura do Distrito Federal |publisher=Portal GDF |language=pt |accessdate=2012-08-24 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070623180832/http://www.brasilia.df.gov.br/005/00502001.asp?ttCD_CHAVE=4352 |archivedate=2007-06-23 |df= }}</ref>
