city halls

Local government buildings

City halls is the plural of city hall, the building that houses a municipal government's administrative offices.

By extension, city hall represents local government itself: You can't fight city hall.

Multiple city halls might appear when discussing different municipalities or, less commonly, multiple buildings serving the same city's government.
