Administrative divisions of Latvia

The current administrative division of Latvia has existed since 1 July 2009. According to the Administrative territorial reform of Latvia, Latvia changed its administrative divisions from two-tier municipalities (the districts were the first-level municipalities, while towns (cities), town's countryside territories and parishes were the second-level municipalities) to unitary municipalities - districts were abolished, while towns/cities (Latvian: pilsētas, plural), and towns' rural hinterland (Latvian: pilsētu lauku teritorijas, plural) and parishes (Latvian: pagasti, plural) were merged into 110 municipalities (Latvian: novadi, plural), while 9 larger cities got the status of republic cities (Latvian: republikas pilsētas, plural).[1] with their own city council and administration.[2][3]

Municipalities are mainly subdivided into territorial units (novada teritoriālās vienības): municipal parishes (novada pagasti) and municipal towns (novada pilsētas),[4] however, there are municipalities without any subdivision.

On 10 June 2020, the Saeima approved a municipal reform that will reduce the 110 municipalities and 9 cities to 42 local government units.[5]
