renovation planning and compliance

I'm deep into planning a kitchen renovation, and honestly, the compliance part is a whole project in itself. Between figuring out what permits we actually need and making sure the new electrical layout meets current code, it's way more than just picking out tile. My contractor keeps mentioning local zoning laws for the window change, so I'm spending weekends reading up on building codes. It's tedious, but I know ignoring it would be a disaster down the line.
