I mean, I'm all for code and everything, but it is a pain and it is

I've found many city codes, speaking of electrical here, allow for
licensed personel to perform the work without permits if the project
is 'small'. Usually a dollar amount. Not suggesting you shouldn't
obtain a permit, but I use the local codes in this case as a guildline
for what I want to get permited and not.

But officially, I would always contact your local inspectors for their
advice, they are there to help you.
