        "text": "Cabinet work alone may be exempt from a permit in some situations, but a kitchen remodel involving plumbing, electrical, mechanical, structural, or exterior changes can require permits and inspections. City rules vary, so confirm requirements with the applicable jurisdiction before work begins.\n\nContext: The City of San Diego states that relocating cabinets and countertops in certain single-family, duplex, and townhouse projects may be exempt, while other remodel work can require a permit. Chula Vista, Coronado, National City, and Imperial Beach may have different procedures.\n\nKey factors:\n- Whether walls or openings change\n- Sink, gas, electrical, or lighting relocation\n- Hood ducting and mechanical work\n- Structural conditions and property type\n\nPractical guidance: Ask for a written scope identifying permit-related work and who coordinates applications, inspections, and corrections. Do not assume that “cabinet replacement” covers every part of a kitchen remodel.\n\nElite Remodeling & Design’s published process includes permit coordination when the project scope calls for it.",
