The '''town hall''' is a location in {{WW}}, {{CF}}, and {{NL}}, serving as the building where most of the town's civic duties are carried out.

===In {{WW|short|nolink}} and {{CF|short|nolink}}===

The main area of the town hall has a counter that divides the building into two parts. Anywhere behind the counter is inaccessible to the player, and contains bookcases, mail sacks, and the mayor's desk, where Tortimer can be found sleeping. [[Pelly]] and [[Phyllis]] also work behind the counter.

*[[Environment]] – The player can hear the opinions of the townsfolk in regard to the environment of the town. If the town remains perfect for 15 days, Pelly or Phyllis will hand the player a [[Golden Watering Can]].

*[[Town Tune]] – The town tune can be edited from here.

*Town Fund ({{CF|short|nolink}}) – Bells can be donated to aid the town. This can result in an extra [[bridge]], a fountain, and a choice of a windmill or lighthouse being built.

*Donation ({{WW|short|nolink}}) – Bells can be donated to the town of [[Boondox]] in exchange for feathers.

*Problem ({{CF|short|nolink}}) – The player can report villagers here. Doing so will cause the villager in question to reset their clothing, reset their catchphrase, or forget about the letters that players have sent them. Also, the player can ask the town hall's staff to clear their house if they are 'locked out'.

*Moving ({{WW|short|nolink}}) – Players can be transferred from one town to another.

====[[File:Post Office Mat CF Sprite.png|32px]] Post office====

{{Clear}}

*Pay mortgage ({{WW|short|nolink}}) – The player can pay in Bells towards their [[mortgage]]. Paying off the current mortgage enables the player to expand their house.

*Withdraw ({{WW|short|nolink}}) – A player can withdraw money from their account.

*Deposit ({{WW|short|nolink}}) – A player can deposit money into their account.

*Save mail – Saves selected letters, which can be accessed at any time.

*Save notes in bottles ({{WW|short|nolink}}) – Save selected [[Message Bottle|notes in bottles]] that can be accessed at any time.

*Send letter – Post a letter to a fellow villager or player.

*Wii Message Board ({{CF|short|nolink}}) – Send a message (possibly with a screenshot) to the player's Wii Message Board, or a friend's Wii Message Board.

====[[File:Recycling WW Icon.png|32px]] Recycle box====

The recycling bin is one of the surprisingly useful things in the town, and has the same function as the dump in {{PG|nolink}}. The player can leave any unwanted items here to be taken away at 6 AM every Monday and Thursday. This can be useful for any items which cannot be sold to [[Tom Nook]]. Alternatively, the player can just choose to sell them for no extra Bells.

The most useful thing the recycling bin can be used for is collecting rare pieces of furniture, or other items. Sometimes, a rare item may appear, which is likely being disposed of by another villager. These items are usually ones that do not appear in the store often, and can be taken by the player to use at no charge whatsoever. If these items are left past 6 AM on the collection days, they will be permanently lost.

The recycling bin was removed in {{NL|nolink}}. If the player installs a trash bin as a [[public works project]] or places a similar piece of furniture in their house, they can dispose of trash that way. Otherwise, they will have to pay a disposal fee at [[Re-Tail]].

====[[File:Savings WW Icon.png|32px]] Automatic Bell Dispenser====

{{Main|Savings}}

The Automatic Bell Dispenser allows players to deposit or withdraw Bells, and to pay their mortgage. The player can also ask the machine to issue them a new [[Shopping Card]]. The bell dispenser was absent in {{WW|nolink}}, and was moved to the post office in {{NL|nolink}}.

====[[File:Bulletin Board NL.png|32px]] Bulletin board====

The bulletin board is a message board outside of the hall, where messages can appear every day. The player can also post their own messages, and is where Tom Nook sends the player to post how "cool" [[Tom Nook's store|his store]] is as a job at the start of the game. In {{CF|nolink}}, a small yellow bird appears on top of the board if there are unread messages, but will fly away when the player approaches. In {{NL|nolink}}, the Bulletin Board is located outside the [[train station]] instead.

 

 

 

 

 

 

====CAT Machine====

In {{NLWa}}, the CAT Machine (Coupon Allocating Terminal) is added outside the town hall and rewards the player with [[MEOW Coupon]]s when they complete [[town initiative]]s. The machine will audibly chime and flash its screen when the player has completed initiatives to indicate that there are coupons that can be claimed. Isabelle will give an overview of the CAT Machine to the player during the tutorial when they begin {{NLWa|short|nolink}} for the first time.

===In {{Film|nolink}}===

[[File:GDnM Town Hall Exterior.png|thumb|left|200px|Town hall in {{Film|nolink}}]]

In {{Film}}, [[Ai]] enters the town hall shortly after arriving in [[Animal Village]] and meets [[Pelly]] and [[Tortimer]]. The building later appears in the background of several scenes, including during the [[Fireworks Show|Fireworks Festival]] and when Tortimer announces the winner of the Winter Festival.

The music in the town hall will change depending on who is serving the player. Pelly's theme is a cheery, bouncy song with a fast whistling melody. Phyllis's contains a very droll, onbeat chord sequence with a very pitchy guitar melody. Both songs give a good idea of each clerk's personality. [[Smashville]] in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] has the town hall's music (along with Tom Nook's theme) play in the background. In {{NL}}, Isabelle's theme played when loading the game is remixed for town hall.
