        "text": "For basic water damage repairs like replacing drywall or repainting, permits are generally not required. However, if the water damage necessitates significant structural changes, electrical work, or plumbing system alterations beyond simple fixture replacement, permits from your local San Mateo County building department may be necessary. Always consult with your contractor or local authorities to determine specific permit requirements based on the scope of work.",
