North Tipperary County Council (Irish: Comhairle Contae Thiobraid Árann Thuaidh) is established on April 1, 1899, under the Local Government (Ireland) Act 1898 for the administrative county of Tipperary, North Riding. It is the local authority of the county of North Tipperary from 1899 to 2014. The head of the council has the title of Cathaoirleach. The county town was Nenagh.
North Tipperary County Council succeeds the judicial county of the North Riding of County Tipperary, except for the district electoral divisions of Cappagh, Curraheen, and Glengar, which become part of South Tipperary.
Originally, North Tipperary County Council holds its meetings in Nenagh Courthouse. The county council relocates to a new facility, known as the Civic Offices, in 2005.
The Local Government (Ireland) Act 1919 introduces the electoral system of proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote (PR-STV) for the 1920 Irish local elections. Tipperary North Riding is divided into five county electoral areas to elect the twenty members of the council.
Under the Local Government Act 2001, North Tipperary County Council is allocated twenty-one seats. The 2009 North Tipperary County Council election is the last election to the council.
On July 26, 2011, Phil Hogan, the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government, announces the proposed merger of North Tipperary County Council and South Tipperary County Council. Following implementation of the Local Government Reform Act 2014, it is dissolved on June 1, 2014, and succeeded by Tipperary County Council.
