What I can tell from my google research, sanding is required if they painted with a latex paint.

Can I paint the closet trim/baseboards with oil based paint and skip the sanding?

thank you!
My home in Mallory Square, build in 2007, has oil based paint on the baseboards, wood trim and interior wood doors. I have used oil based paint to touch up the doors and trim.
