        "text": "Permit requirements depend on your specific municipality across the Denver metro area and the exact scope of rehabilitation work being performed. Surface-level cosmetic updates—such as installing baseboards, tiling a backsplash, repairing drywall, or painting interior rooms—generally do not require municipal building permits. However, if your foreclosed home remodel involves altering load-bearing framing, adding new rooms, or modifying electrical and plumbing layouts, local jurisdictions like Denver or Aurora require formal permits and inspections. A qualified general contractor coordinates with licensed mechanical trades to pull proper permits and schedule required inspections so the completed work complies with local building codes.",
