As far as I'm concerned most permits are to generate taxable income.
Anything not structural or electrical should not need a permit.

If you would add but Plumbing and HVAC to that, both of which cry for
inspection to protect the unwary, I would mostly agree.

That said, the permitting process is used to enforce building standards and
to protect the unwary against the practices of shoddy remodelers and
builders, whose numbers are legion.

English.

IOW, with regard to building permits/code enforcement, you ain't seen
nothing yet! ... and be thankful for it!
