        "text": "Permits are generally required for interior work that alters the home's structural framing, plumbing, mechanical, or electrical systems. Cosmetic work—such as interior painting, replacing floor tile, installing baseboards, and standard drywall repairs—typically does not require a building permit in Denver, Aurora, and surrounding municipalities. However, if your renovation involves moving plumbing lines, adding dedicated electrical circuits, or removing load-bearing walls, permits and official inspections are necessary. Working with a general contractor ensures trade work meets local building codes and inspections are completed in proper order before walls are closed.",
