The municipality of Otterøy was established on 1 January 1913 when it was split off from the municipality of Fosnes. Initially, Otterøy had a population of 1,631.

All of Otterøy that was on the island of Otterøya and the island of Hoddøya (population: 1,013) became a part of the municipality of Namsos.[4]

All municipalities in Norway, including Otterøy, are responsible for primary education (through 10th grade), outpatient health services, senior citizen services, unemployment and other social services, zoning, economic development, and municipal roads. The municipality is governed by a municipal council of elected representatives, which in turn elects a mayor.[5]
