A few years back my neighbor replaced a vanity in a upstairs bathroom and did a shitty job hooking up the water lines and there was a flood a week later because of it. His insurance company denied the claim because no permit was pulled. He argued with them and they ended up paying for half the damages. The dude was out like 5k. Homeowners can pull permits for their own homes, no license required.
