        "text": "In the Denver metro area, permitting depends on the project scope and local city or county building departments. Purely cosmetic updates like replacing tile, drywall, cabinets, and fixtures in the exact same footprint typically do not trigger permits. However, relocating supply lines, expanding electrical circuits, or altering load-bearing framing generally requires trade permits. Working with a hands-on general contractor ensures you know when permits are required for your local jurisdiction and that mechanical sub-trades are properly coordinated.",
