In local government, a city hall, town hall or (more rarely) a municipal building or civic centre, is the chief administrative building of a citytown or other municipality. It usually houses the city or town council, its associated departments, and their employees. It also usually functions as the base of the mayor of a city, town, borough, or county. - Source: Wikipedia
