        "text": "In many Bay Area cities, adding or removing a partition wall, especially if it involves altering plumbing, electrical, or HVAC systems, or if there's any chance it's load-bearing, typically requires a building permit. Even for non-load-bearing walls, permits ensure that modifications meet safety and building codes. It's always best to consult with your local building department or a contractor like City Dweller, LLC to determine specific permit requirements for your project.",
