The divisions are subdivided into approximately 1,088 "locations" (mtaa) and then "sublocations" (kijiji). A province is administered by a Provincial Commissioner (PC).

Kenyan local authorities mostly do not follow common boundaries with divisions. They are classified as City, Municipality, Town or County councils.
