        "text": "Permit requirements depend on the scope of work. Structural changes, electrical work, plumbing modifications, and additions almost always require permits. Failing to obtain necessary permits can lead to fines, delays, or issues during closing. It is crucial to verify local regulations with your county or city building department, as requirements can vary significantly between areas such as Miami-Dade and Palm Beach County.
