strictly speaking, sure you 'should' get a permit. Do most
people? NO! Even changing a water heater in San Jose
"requires" a permit, but almost no one does it...

I've got a new saw coming Friday, and I need to run 220 to my attached
garage. I just want the one receptacle. Having read enough on it, I
think it's well within my home improvement skills (my wife, OTOH, is
shopping for funeral wear.) The only thing I don't know is whether
this is something I'm allowed to DIY. Is it something that typically
requires a permit? Inspection? Or can I just do it and go?
