If it is a NEW fan location, a permit is required and an inspection required if you are doing it yourself (or a handyman), I did my own, and this is what was required. If you are replacing a fan, then as stated above a handyman can do it, no inspections or permits. Also, if this is a new installation (or a conversion of a can light to a fan) you will need a holder rated for a ceiling fan (typically attic work). I offer this as it was not completely clear what type of work you were looking for.
