        "text": "In Denver and surrounding communities like Centennial and Parker, permit requirements depend on whether the removal alters plumbing, electrical wiring, or load-bearing framing. A simple tear-out of a surface surround without changing pipe locations or structural components often does not trigger a permit on its own. However, if removing the shower involves relocating drain stacks, updating supply lines, or modifying wall framing, local municipal building departments typically require a plumbing or building permit. Checking local jurisdictional rules before beginning ensures your project remains fully compliant.",
