Alaska Governor’s Mansion Could Become a Short-Term Rental

4/16/2025

Lawmakers in Alaska are reviewing a bill that could turn the governor’s mansion in Juneau into a short-term rental property to generate revenue. “During this time of fiscal uncertainty, it is imperative amongst us to find innovative ideas that aim to maximize how we use our state facilities, especially state-owned and operated residences in a way to reduce overall expenses,” stated bill sponsor Rep. Will Stapp (R-Fairbanks). If passed, the mansion would be open for renters year-round, outside any regular or special session. The cost to rent and the rental duration, however, has yet to be shared.
