Welcome to  Tripoli, Iowa

Nestled in Bremer County, the City of Tripoli is home to the Tripoli Panthers and is a perfect location for your business and family.

Tripoli was founded in 1880 by H.J. Wynhoff, and was originally named "Old Tripoli" in honor of the Battle of Tripoli. Though initially founded in 1856 roughly one half mile to the North intersection 33 of Frederika township, it was later moved to its present location when the train tracks were laid for the Chicago Great Western Railroad. 

CITY REMINDERS & ANNOUNCEMENTS

The Tripoli City Council implemented a rental registration and inspection program on September 9, 2025 at a regular council meeting. This requires landlords to register all of their properties and units with the City, and requires them to have an inspection completed by the designated committee every 3 years, or as the City sees fit. The stands that will be followed will be according to the International Property Maintenance Code.

This program was implemented as a way to ensure the quality of living standards are being met for tenants, and to combat the renting of inhabitable or unsafe living situations moving forward for residents of our town. Please fill out this form for each property you own.

This is a requirement of landlords to register each rental property on or before December 31, 2025. We will begin inspections of these properties in 2026. Failure to register your properties will result in penalties being assessed on the property.

The form to register can be found at: https://forms.gle/X4GKVH4i2AEKsuy69

As of January 1st, 2025 Tripoli Residents will be required to license all dogs and cats located within city limits.

The City of Tripoli now accepts online payments for Utility Bills, Police Fines and Rental Facilities
