The City Municipal Authorities Building stood tall within the Federal District of Galactic City, the sprawling ecumenopolis encompassing Coruscant, which served as the capital for the Galactic Republic. Its gray facade was crowned by a spire that extended beyond Level 5127, the highest accessible point on Coruscant during the Naboo Crisis in 32 BBY. On one side, several levels below the surface, a district filled with dubious restaurants and shopping malls could be found, while the Diplomat Hotel and the Galactic Courts of Justice were also situated in its vicinity.
Within current Star Wars canon, the City Municipal Authorities Building is noted in Star Wars: Complete Locations, a reference book from 2016. This information originated from Inside the Worlds of Star Wars: Episode I, a 2000 reference book authored by Kristin Lund and illustrated by Richard Chasemore and Hans Jenssen; this book marked the initial mention of the building within the Star Wars Legends continuity. Subsequently, it made its Legends debut in The Clone Wars: Decide Your Destiny: Crisis on Coruscant, a 2010 entry in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Decide Your Destiny book series penned by Jonathan Green.
