        "text": "Whether you need a permit for rotted window frame replacement in San Mateo often depends on the scope of the work. If only the frame itself is being replaced and no structural alterations are made to the wall opening, a permit might not be required. However, if the project involves altering the size of the window opening, significant structural repairs to the wall, or replacing the entire window unit where specific energy efficiency codes must be met, a permit is typically necessary. It's always best to consult with your contractor or the San Mateo County Building Division directly to confirm specific requirements for your project.",
