        "text": "For most standard bathroom finish carpentry, such as installing new cabinets, trim, or shelving, permits are typically not required in Bay Area cities like Daly City or South San Francisco. Permits become necessary when structural changes are made, plumbing or electrical systems are significantly altered, or the footprint of the bathroom is changed. If your project involves moving walls, relocating plumbing fixtures, or altering load-bearing elements, then a permit will be needed. It's always best to consult with your general contractor or local building department to confirm permit requirements for your specific project before starting any work.",
