The Sac County Courthouse in Sac City, Iowa, United States was built in 1889. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981 as a part of the County Courthouses in Iowa Thematic Resource.[1] The courthouse is the third building the county has used for court functions and county administration.
The first Sac County courthouse was a two-story brick building that was constructed in 1860.[2] The second courthouse, which was built in 1873, was destroyed in a fire in 1888. The present courthouse was built in 1889. J.M. Russell designed the building in the Romanesque Revival style.[1] The county used $15,000 in insurance money and the same amount raised by county citizens to build the courthouse.[2]
