"I'm painting the outside of my house - do I need a permit?"
What city do you live in?
"I'm changing the fawcet in my kitchen sink and adding a built in dishwasher - do I need a permit?"
What county do you live in? What country, for that matter?
The point of the article was not to address specific situations. It would be impossible. Every city, state, county, and country has different building codes.
The purpose of the article was to address whether or not people should apply for a permit, or... take a chance and have work done without the permit.
While I'm not a fan of any bureaucracy, I have known people who have been stung by not getting a project permitted and inspected. And it cost them a lot more than they ever thought it would.
