The county governor of Troms og Finnmark county in Norway represents the central government administration in the county. The office of county governor is a government agency of the Kingdom of Norway; the title was Amtmann (before 1919), then Fylkesmann (from 1919 to 2020), and then Statsforvalteren (since 2021).[1]
Troms og Finnmark county was created on 1 January 2020 when the old Troms and Finnmark counties were merged. The county governor offices of Troms and Finnmark counties were merged on 1 January 2019 in anticipation of the merger of the two counties.
The county governor is the government's representative in the county. The governor carries out the resolutions and guidelines of the Storting and government. This is done first by the county governor performing administrative tasks on behalf of the ministries. Secondly, the county governor also monitors the activities of the municipalities and is the appeal body for many types of municipal decisions.
