This page is about the official residences of the governors of the American states.

Forty-five states provide some official home for a sitting governor and first family. In certain states, the governor is required to reside at the official home while in office.

HIGHLIGHTS

Five states do not provide the governor with an official residence: Arizona, Idaho, Massachusetts , Rhode Island, and Vermont.

Fourteen states have inmate release programs allowing inmates with records of good behavior to work at the governor's residence. Those states are Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Dakota, and Tennessee.

Alabama maintains three residences for its governor rather than one. Three other states—Michigan, New Jersey, and North Carolina—maintain two separate residences for the governor.
