The city seems to to have comingled several facets
(building/heating/cooling/plumbing/electrical) into
The Dept of Community Development. My assumption about the requirement
was
based upon the NEC. Part of my project includes the installation of a
new
subpanel.
One will be able to see if from the street and I don't want to ever have
to
answer any
hard questions about how it got there. In different circumstances, I
might
be more cavalier.

I didn't pull a permit to add my electrical panel, nor am I for the
finishing
job on the room above the garage (my shop, some day). I did when I
added
a
garage, twenty years ago and that included a sub panel.


If you would have had to make a fire-related claim with your home owners
insurance company
you may have been up a creek (worth the risk?).

Bull****. You can't come up with one example of this actually happening
because it never has.


I found this example in 30 seconds; the OPs problem is sort of interesting:

More bull****. That's a case of no building permit for a structure. The
issue at hand is not a structure.

Another issue is that should you sell your home, you will be liable to the
buyer
should they experience a fire and learn that you installed the subpanel
without
a permit. I'm curious whether manslaughter charges would be plausable
under the right set of circumstances (not yours!)... You say Bull****, I
say, here
please, take the $25. : )

Again, you spout bull****. Find an example. You can't.
