        "text": "A building permit is typically required when altering structural framing, moving plumbing supply lines or drains, or adding new electrical circuits. Simple cosmetic updates, such as swapping out a mirror, changing a light fixture, or painting walls, usually do not require permits. When a guest bathroom remodel includes a full tub-to-shower conversion, relocated waste pipes, or upgraded GFCI circuits, a licensed general contractor secures the proper municipal permits and coordinates mandatory trade inspections during rough-in and final stages.",
