When I made landscaping changes, I contacted ARC. I even had a proposed change turned down and I abided by that, so don't lecture me.
Contacting the government to replace something that already exists is beyond foolish.

Two people have posted that a permit was required:

juliewna I also looked at doors at Lowe’s to replace my sliding glass door. They told me about $300 permit that I would have to purchase when I bought the door from them.

So despite your protestation that your common sense is the controlling authority in matters of legality, those who actually govern may have a different opinion. You apparently would never contact the government to see what is required because you are going to do it your common sense way, not the required legal way, if the two posts are accurate. Perhaps you are correct that this is not a matter of honesty, I apologize.
The correct answer will come from the OP's call to the building department and hopefully he will relay the actual requirement to this thread.
