        "text": "A vanity replacement may require plumbing or electrical review when fixtures, drains, outlets, or lighting are added, moved, or substantially altered. A same-place, like-for-like replacement may be treated differently, but local requirements depend on the exact work and jurisdiction.\n\nContext: The City of San Diego’s published guidance distinguishes maintenance-like replacements from work that changes plumbing fixtures or other building systems. Elite Remodeling & Design can identify the project scope and coordinate permit-related steps when the vanity is part of a permitted bathroom remodel.\n\nKey factors:\n- Whether water or drain lines move\n- Whether an outlet or lighting changes\n- Whether walls are opened\n- Which city has jurisdiction over the property\n\nPractical guidance: Ask for a written scope showing who determines permit needs and who handles applications, inspections, and closeout. Do not assume a cabinet replacement has the same requirements as a layout change.\n\nEarly scope review is especially useful in San Diego County communities with different permitting offices.",

San Diego guidance treats plumbing and electrical changes differently from certain like-for-like maintenance work, so confirm the exact scope before starting."
