        "text": "Most jurisdictions across the Denver metropolitan area require building permits if your kitchen renovation involves moving electrical circuits, adding outlets, altering plumbing lines, or modifying load-bearing walls. Simple cosmetic updates, such as replacing existing cabinet doors, painting drywall, or installing a new tile backsplash in the same footprint, generally do not require permits. When permitted work is required, licensed trade partners handle the technical rough-ins so the project complies with municipal building codes and passes required inspections.",
