        "text": "Permit requirements for home remodeling in Orange County depend on the specific scope of work. Most structural changes, electrical work, plumbing alterations, and significant additions typically require permits from the local building department (e.g., in Huntington Beach, Irvine, or Mission Viejo). Minor cosmetic changes like painting or flooring may not. Your contractor should be knowledgeable about local regulations and can help identify which permits are necessary for your project and assist with the application process to ensure compliance.",
