Until 18 July 2020, Bukachivtsi belonged to Rohatyn Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast to six. The area of Rohatyn Raion was merged into Ivano-Frankivsk Raion.[5][6]
Until 26 January 2024, Bukachivtsi was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Bukachivtsi became a rural settlement.[7]
