'Denmark' is divided into five regions and 98 municipalities (Danish, ''kommuner''). This was established per an administrative reform, effective January 1, 2007 which replaced the 13 counties (amter) with 5 regions (''regioner''). The 270 municipalities were consolidated into 98 larger units, most of which have at least 20,000 inhabitants. Many of the responsibilities of the former counties were taken over by the enlarged municipalies. 32 of the former municipalities did not merge into larger units, either because they already had merged or had a population larger than 20,000 or because they signed a cooperation agreement with a larger municipality.

Municipal Reform 2007

The Municipal Reform of 2007 is the name given to the agreement of merging many municipalities, as well as replacing the 13 counties with five regions, which was ratified by the parties Venstre, Conservative People's Party, Danish People's Party, Social Democratic Party and Det Radikale Venstre on June 16 2005 effective as of January 1 2007.
The reform replaced the structure of municipalities and counties introduced with the reform of 1970.
Since the counties weren't the only structure based on the municipal layout of Denmark, other related changes were necessary as well. Thus, police districts, court districs, and electoral wards also needed to be updated after the municipal reform.

1970-2006

Until December 31, 2006, Denmark was divided into 13 counties (''amter''), and 270 municipalities (''kommuner'').
