building is about the _building_ typology. "civic" or "public_building" are not amongst the building types I'd suggest to use, I'd go for stuff that is more literal / specific like building=community_center building=courthouse building=government_administration building=hospital building=library building=post_office building=school building=church building=concert_hall building=university building=town_hall building=train_station building=art_gallery building=museum .... for functions like "city council", "driver and vehicle licensing agency", "ministry of defense" we should not use the building key (and not even the building object IMHO) but use a dedicated object and have tags for these functions. This would maybe better work with subtags, one tag to say something like: this is a government agency, and another tag to say which type/function of agency it is. cheers, Martin
