I'm supposed to get a permit to install/replace a ceiling fan. They
just want to collect your money. How is a ceiling fan replacement going
to be inspected? I guess they might flip the switch to see if it runs.
They also want a permit for a faucet replacement.
We have one AHJ here who wants a permit for any device replacement.
(receptacle, switch etc) I can only think that building is so slow in
his patch that they are really looking for work. Even the other
inspectors at my meetings think he is off the reservation.

I replaced all of the switches in my home with the paddle type while
they were hot. Anyone who is careful can do that. No permit required
(yet) for switches and outlets in my 'hood.
