Do I need a permit to remodel a kitchen?

In Gloucester County, New Jersey, you typically need a permit for most kitchen remodeling projects, especially if they involve significant changes. Here are some general guidelines:

• Structural Changes: If your remodel involves structural changes, such as removing or adding walls, you will likely need a building permit.
