Alcaldia means Mayor's office
Intendencia can mean the police offices or the janitors office it depends on the content, but I think you are looking for the first one.

I agree with Queen of the Rÿche
If you search for intendencia, you will find intendencia municipal for many city government websites in Uruguay.

http://www.montevideo.gub.uy/
http://www.salto.gub.uy/
Where as alcaldia, you will find many city governments websites in Colombia and Venezuela.
http://www.alcaldiabogota.gov.co/
http://www.medellin.gov.co/
http://www.chacao.gov.ve/
So both refer to City Governments.
