The District is divided into 2 Revenue divisions namely Guntur and Tenali for administrative convenience. A Revenue division is headed by Revenue Divisional Officer in the rank of Sub – Collector in Cadre of I.A.S. or a Deputy Collector. He is the Sub Divisional Magistrate having jurisdiction over his division. An administrative Officer in the Cadre of a Tahsildar assists in administration. The Sub divisional Offices are a replica of Collectorate in the matter of number of sections and they act as intermediary in the administrative setup. Each division consists of a few Mandals whose performance is constantly monitored by the concerned Divisional Office.
