        "text": "In many East Bay cities, permits are typically required for significant structural changes to a deck, or for building a new deck. Simple like-for-like replacement of deck boards on an existing, compliant structure usually does not require a permit. However, if the replacement involves altering the deck's size, height, or structural components, or if you're upgrading to a heavier material, a permit may be necessary. It's always best to consult with your local building department (e.g., Berkeley, Oakland, Albany, El Cerrito) or with us directly, as we can help determine specific requirements for your project.",
