        "text": "Whether a permit is required for a seating wall depends on its height, location, and local building codes in cities like Los Angeles, Pasadena, or Arcadia. Generally, walls below a certain height (often 30 or 36 inches) that are not part of a retaining structure or close to property lines do not require a permit. However, it's crucial to verify with your local planning department as regulations can vary. We assist clients in determining permit needs and navigating the application process if required.",
