The municipality was created before the World War II in 1940 after reorganization of the Stanisławów Voivodeship. In 1962 the official name of it changed from Stanislav to Ivano-Frankivsk after the administrative center. It was located within the Tysmenytsia District and consists of one city municipality and five rural ones. Through the municipality flow two major rivers of the region Bystrytsia Solotvynska and Bystrytsia Nadvirnianska and one smaller one Vorona. Most of the territory is flat, however there are some elevated areas in northern parts near Vovchynets known as Vovchynets Hills. There is also several lakes located within the city of Ivano-Frankivsk around which stretches a city park.
Administratively, until 2020, Ivano-Frankivsk was designated the city of oblast significance, and Ivano-Frankivsk Municipality was the territory subordinated to Ivano-Frankivsk City Council. On 18 July 2020, as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, the number of raions of Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast was reduced to six, and Ivano-Frankivsk Municipality was abolished as an administrative subdivision and merged into Ivano-Frankivsk Raion.[3][4] The last estimate of the municipality population was 622,012 (2020 est.)[2].

The city has its own council that is considered to be the main governing body of the municipality and is subordinated to the regional authorities (Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast).
The executive body is headed by the city's mayor who is charge of his/hers executive committee.
The city of Ivano-Frankivsk has an extensive network of public transport including buses, trolleybuses, and taxis. There are nine trolleybus routes and about 52 for regular buses. Some of the routes run beyond the city into nearby villages.
There is one railway terminal locally known as Vokzal. There are also smaller rail stations in the adjacent villages such as Uhryniv, Khryplyn, and other. All of them are part of the Lviv Railways.
Until 2008 the railway terminal also housed a bus terminal which provided several inter-city bus routes, including some to international destinations. In 2000 construction work began on a new bus terminal next to the railway terminus on Zaliznychna Street. Inauguration of the new bus terminal took place on May 22, 2010. At the opening ceremony the mayor of the city, Viktor Anuškevičius, noted that the new bus terminal was only partially completed, and for a period it would be necessary to offload at the Pryvokzalna Square, which is already saturated with traffic. He also emphasised the need for another bus station on the outskirts of the city.[5]
The city is served by the Ivano-Frankivsk International Airport, which was granted international status in 1992. The airport shares its facilities with the 114 Brigade of the Ukrainian Air Force. Since 2002 the airport has been leased to the private enterprise company "Yavson", and from 2005 the Public limited company "Naftokhimik Prykarpattia", a (subsidiary of Ukrnafta) with whom the contract expires in 2013.
Lodging in the city is numerous. Among big hotels and motels there is a big variety of all kinds of lodging. Ivano-Frankivsk has one a four-star hotel ("Park Hotel") and three three-star hotels ("Nadia", "Auscoprut", "Pid Templem Archived 2017-07-11 at the Wayback Machine").

All street names reflecting the city's Soviet or Russian past have been returned to their former names, or given new names of national historic importance, or other non-controversial name. For example, Gagarin Street (connecting the city with its suburbs) became Vovchynets Street, Suvorov Street is now Harbar Street, and Soviet Street is Nezalezhnist Street (meaning Independence).
Around 100 other streets were renamed.
