        "text": "Yes, permits are typically required in Hillsborough and Pinellas counties whenever a remodel alters electrical circuits, plumbing supplies, drainage lines, or structural framing. Simple cosmetic changes like repainting or swapping pre-existing cabinets do not require permits. However, adding a dedicated 240-volt dryer outlet, adding a sink, or moving laundry hookups must meet local building and safety codes. Bay City Remodeling & Bathrooms handles the planning, work coordination, and necessary inspections to ensure the space is fully compliant.",
