The Tama County Courthouse is located in Toledo, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981.
The first courthouse for Tama County was a two-story frame structure built in 1854 for $1,300. The present courthouse is a Victorian Romanesque style building completed in 1866. The final construction cost was $22,000, but the county had accepted a $5,000 bid and that is what they paid. Its foundation is stone and the exterior walls are covered with brick. The belfry can be reached from a stairway on the second floor.
