        "text": "Permit requirements for investment property renovations in Orange County depend on the scope of work. Minor cosmetic changes like painting or flooring typically don't require permits. However, structural alterations, electrical work, plumbing modifications, or significant layout changes almost always do. Check with your specific city's building department (e.g., Irvine, Huntington Beach, Mission Viejo) as requirements can vary slightly. Always secure necessary permits before starting work to avoid fines or needing to redo completed work.",
