It hosts the administration of Ostrytsia rural hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine, Until 18 July 2020, Ostrytsia belonged to Hertsa Raion, which was historically a part of the province of Moldavia, although the town of Ostrytsia itself lies in Bukovina (Austro-Hungarian until 1918). The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Chernivtsi Oblast to three. The area of Hertsa Raion was merged into Chernivtsi Raion.
