Peer comment(s):
neutral B D Finch : A town hall annexe is simply a building annexed to a town hall, when the latter needed more space. i.e. on the same site.

En plus de la mairie principale ou de l'hôtel de ville, les communes peuvent établir une ou plusieurs mairies annexes afin de faciliter les démarches des habitants. Les communes associées ou déléguées disposent également de mairies dans lesquelles se réunit le conseil de la commune déléguée1. Les communes divisées en arrondissements (Paris, Lyon) ou de secteurs (Marseille) disposent de mairies d'arrondissement ou de secteur.

Thanks for the link. Still wondering about what its equivalent would be in English.
