Within the framework of administrative divisions, Plyos is subordinated to Privolzhsky District.[1] Prior to the adoption of the Law #145-OZ On the Administrative-Territorial Division of Ivanovo Oblast in December 2010, it used to be incorporated separately as an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts.[12]
As a municipal division, the town of Plyos, together with twenty-three rural localities in Privolzhsky District, is incorporated within Privolzhsky Municipal District as Plyosskoye Urban Settlement.[4]
