        "text": "For a standard cosmetic bathroom refresh (e.g., painting, replacing a vanity or toilet), permits are generally not required. However, if the refresh involves significant alterations to plumbing, electrical systems, or structural changes, permits from your local building department (e.g., in Pacifica, Daly City, or San Bruno) will likely be necessary. We can help identify if permits are needed for your specific project and assist with the application process.",
