The whole concept of a "Permit" equates to "Permission" which I don't think I need from anyone for my property. That said, yes, I get permits for most things. Helps when selling a house, cause the buying agent will ask. Doesn't really protect you if the buyer sues you, like the POS LAWYER who bought my last house. He sued me for everything that I disclosed, was identified in the home inspection, and even things that I have him money for in escrow. I swore I'd fight him to the death, but this guy had done it twice before and knew every angle. I ended up giving the POS LAWYER money in the end to go away. One day, I'll be in a restaurant and see the POS LAWYER and he'll choke of what he's shoving down his throat and I'll be the only person in the place who knows how to aid a choking victim, and I'll laugh as he chokes to death.
