        "text": "In Los Angeles, most home additions require permits from the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS). This typically includes building permits, but depending on the scope, you might also need electrical, plumbing, and mechanical permits. Zoning regulations and specific district overlays can also influence permit requirements. A reputable contractor will guide you through the permit application process and ensure all necessary approvals are secured before construction begins.",
