Administrative and municipal status

Within the framework of administrative divisions, Nazarovsky District is one of the forty-three in the krai. The town of Nazarovo serves as its administrative center, despite being incorporated separately as a krai town—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts. The district is divided into ten selsoviets.

As a municipal division, the district is incorporated as Nazarovsky Municipal District and is divided into ten rural settlements (corresponding to the administrative district's selsoviets). The krai town of Nazarovo is incorporated separately from the district as Nazarovo Urban Okrug.
