I am testing this now, and nothing seems outright. Does merchant skill decrease the maintaince cost of city structures?

Merchat Efficiency doesn't apply to any civic strucutre (those placed by the mayor and paid for out of the city treasury) Any structure that is player owned can receive the 20% discount to structures provided a Merchant with Efficiency IV pays the maintenance of that structure.

You should note that for player run structures such as the Med Centre, the Cantina and the Theatre, that if the player paying the maintenance has Efficiancy 4, then they should theoretically get the efficiency bonus.

What is unknown at this stage is that withthe upcoming nerf on who can be admin on a structure, is whether another player who does own that structure will be able to pay the maintence and thus attract the bonus.

Ideally the way it should work is that the Merchant with Efficiency 4 should also be the structure owner and not just the maintenance payer. This is probably an exploit that should be changed at the same time as the lot changes are implemented.

I'm not sure its an exploit. It used to work the way you described and was changed some time ago. I've asked TH to get a clarification on its use and intended functionality.
