        "text": "In Salt Lake City and across Salt Lake County municipalities, building permits are typically required whenever a primary bathroom remodel alters structural framing, moves or expands plumbing waste lines, or installs new electrical circuits. Minor cosmetic updates like swapping a vanity top, replacing a faucet in the same position, or re-tiling an existing shower base generally do not require permits. Working with a licensed general contractor ensures that plans meet local building codes, necessary permits are pulled, and required plumbing, electrical, and framing rough-in inspections pass before walls are sealed.",
