Within the framework of administrative divisions, Mikhaylovsky District is one of the thirty-three in the oblast.[1] The town of Mikhaylovka serves as its administrative center,[2] despite being incorporated separately as a town of oblast significance—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts.[1]
As a municipal division, the territory of the administrative district and the territory of the town of oblast significance of Mikhaylovka are incorporated together as Mikhaylovka Urban Okrug.[5] The district used to be incorporated as Mikhaylovsky Municipal District, but effective July 10, 2012, the municipal district was merged into Mikhaylovka Urban Okrug and abolished.[8]
