        "text": "Layout modifications that involve structural changes, new electrical circuits, or rerouting plumbing lines generally require building permits from local municipal building departments in the Denver metro area. Simple cosmetic swaps—like replacing existing cabinets in the exact same footprint—rarely need permits. However, moving a sink, adding dedicated appliance outlets, or opening up a framed wall triggers code compliance checks and city inspections. Securing proper permits ensures all trade rough-ins and structural supports meet current regional building codes before walls are closed with drywall.",
