Resident Services is a location in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, serving as the hub where the island's civic duties are conducted. The Bulletin Board and the town's Plaza are located outside. It replaces the Town Hall from prior games.

Initially the Resident Services consists of a small tent where Tom Nook resides with Timmy and Tommy. Tom Nook provides home upgrades and hosts seminars on item customization. Timmy can buy and sell items with the player. Tommy gives the player tips for living on the island. The tent consists of a Recycle Bin for unwanted items, a DIY Workbench for crafting and customizing items and the Nook Stop. A large bonfire is situated in front of the tent in a dirt plaza. Tom Nook provides the daily island broadcast when loading the town.

After the island has five residents, the Resident Services tent will upgrade into a fully constructed building resembling the Town Hall of previous games. The Bulletin Board will visually upgrade to a fancier design and a Flag will be hoisted outside. Isabelle will arrive on the island and begin working here, having been hired due to her extensive operational experience. Isabelle will take over hosting the island broadcast from Tom Nook and also provide civic services. A large paved plaza is installed outside of the building where events are hosted and traveling characters will periodically appear. At this point Timmy and Tommy will no longer work here, as they will open a shop in town. During certain days in which Isabelle remains outside for events, Resident Services are open but the Civic Consultation Counter remains closed for the day, with only Construction Consultation as the only service available on the day the event takes place. Resident Services is closed during the Countdown, as the entrance is blocked by the countdown timer.
