        "text": "Plumbing permits are generally required when replacing or remodeling a bathtub if you alter the existing drainage slope, relocate water supply pipes, or modify structural floor joists. Simple, same-location tub swaps without pipe alterations may not always trigger full mechanical permits, but municipal building codes in Denver, Centennial, and Parker require work to meet strict moisture-barrier and backflow-prevention standards. Checking local city requirements before work starts ensures the installation passes any required plumbing or framing inspections.",
