        "text": "Permit requirements for drywall replacement can vary by city within the Bay Area (e.g., Pacifica, Daly City) and depend on the scope of work. Minor patching typically does not require a permit. However, extensive replacement, especially if it involves altering structural elements, electrical, or plumbing, or is part of a larger remodel, often necessitates a building permit to ensure safety and compliance with local codes. Always consult with your local building department or a qualified contractor for specific requirements.",
