Roof replacement, water heater swaps, electrical panel work, and structural changes typically require permits in most California municipalities, while like-for-like minor repairs often don't. Permit rules and fees vary by city and county, so confirm with the local building department — and make sure whoever you hire includes permitting in their written scope rather than leaving it to you.
