Municipalities of East Timor

First-level administrative divisions of East Timor

East Timor is divided into 14 municipalities (Spanish: municipios), which are former districts. One municipality is also a Special Administrative Region (SAR).[1] The municipalities are divided into administrative posts (former subdistricts), and further subdivided into sucos (villages).[2] Atauro Island was initially a part of Dili Municipality, but became a separate municipality on 1 January 2022.[3][4]
