In {{WW}} and {{CF}}, the Town Hall is the place that [[player]]s can deliver [[Letter|letters]] and recycle unwanted items - as well as where [[Tortimer]] (the town mayor) can be found during certain events, usually standing outside of the structure. The Town Hall replaces the [[Wishing Well]], [[Dump]], and [[Post Office]] from {{PG}}. It supersedes the Wishing Well by acting as the venue for the town's many affairs, including most, if not all, festivities. In addition, outside of and directly to the left of the structure is a bulletin board on which players can post messages and read those written by the various businesses in the town, special characters, and other villagers; at the beginning of {{WW|short|nolink}}, when driven to their new place of residence by [[Kapp'n]] in his black cab, the player is dropped off just outside the town hall - at the plaza in front of the structure.

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.

{{Main|Recycling bin}}
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.

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.

Beware though, as if these items are left past 6am on the collection days, they will disappear forever.
  
 
It is also amusing to note that if the player sends another villager an item through mail, it may appear in the recycling bin later, or another item may disappear from their house to replace said item and appear in the recycling bin. This usually happens if the item is one a villager cannot have more than one of, like [[wallpaper]] or a [[stereo]].

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]].

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}}.

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.

===In {{NL|short|nolink}}===
 
In {{NL}}, the town hall serves a somewhat different role from previous games. [[Isabelle]] mans the desk and conducts civic functions, with banking and postal services having moved to the post office on [[Main Street]]. The [[bulletin board]] is situated outside the train station, the recycle bin is no longer present and events are now held at the [[event plaza]] in front of the [[Town Tree]].  
 
  
The town hall is the mayor's office, and this player can sit at their desk at the back of the building to begin the process of constructing public works projects and setting [[ordinance]]s for the town.
+
==In {{NL|short|nolink}}==
 
+
In {{NL}}, the Town Hall has changed quite substantially. [[Isabelle]] replaces Pelly and Phyllis, the [[Bulletin Board]] is now outside the [[Train Station]], the recycle bin is gone, and banking and postal services have moved to the [[Post Office]] on [[Main Street]]. The [[Event Plaza]] is also in front of the [[Town Tree]] instead of the Town Hall. However, the Town Hall is now the location of the mayoral player's office. The mayor can build [[public works project]]s and set [[ordinance]]s by going to the Town Hall. The Town Hall is closed on event days, when Isabelle is in the plaza. In {{NLa}}, a new [[CAT Machine]] has been added outside the Town Hall.
The town hall is closed during events where Isabelle is in the town's plaza. During certain other events (such as the [[Fishing Tourney]]), the town hall will remain open but the mayor is not allowed to begin any new projects or change ordinances. If Isabelle is [[campground|camping]], [[Wisp]] will take over her role for the day but no services will be available as he does not know how to perform her job.

* [[Environment rating|Citizen satisfaction]] - The player can hear an opinion held by one of many special characters. Isabelle will give advice to improve the rating, if it is not considered perfect.
 
* [[Town tune]] - The player can edit the town tune from here.
 
* [[Flag|Town flag]] - The player can change the town flag from here by selecting one of their 10 [[designs]].
 
* Problematic citizens - The player can report a villager from here. A villager's catchphrase or clothing can be reset, or their received letters can be forgotten.
 
 
 
====[[File:Editor's Chair NL Model.png|32px]] Mayor's chair====

* [[Public works projects]] - The mayor can start or demolish public works projects from here. If a project has been completed, they will be given the opportunity to attend a ceremony when they first sit down.
 
* [[Ordinance]]s - The mayor can enact or cancel ordinances from here.
 
 
 
====Renovation====
 
Once the town has achieved [[perfect town]] status, the mayor will unlock the option of renovating the exterior design of the town hall. There are three unique designs, and once altered, the building can be reverted to the default appearance if desired. The interior of the building remains identical no matter which design is chosen.

====CAT Machine====
 
[[File:NLWa CAT Machine.jpg|thumbnail|right]]
 
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.

==Music==
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.

==Trivia==
 +
*In {{CF}} if a player is imported from {{WW}}, Tortimer will remember meeting them outside the town hall rather than in it, as occurs in {{WW|short|nolink}}. [[Pelly]] or [[Phyllis]] will mention the player is in fact a new resident, and [[Mayor Tortimer|Tortimer]] will dismiss it as déjà vu instead.
 +
*A [[cranky]] villager will talk about donating Bells and hearing Tortimer say that he is going out tonight.
 +
*In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', [[Isabelle]] uses the town hall as her final smash which is similar to the one that the [[Villager (Super Smash Bros. series)]] uses. She also uses it in her [[smashwiki:On-screen appearance|on-screen appearance]].
