I replaced my water heater a few years back and I did not pull a permit for the job. A couple of years later I listed the house for sale through the Properties of The villages. My agent pulled all the permits and told me it looks like you still have the original water heater. I gave her the date of install and she updated her records and that was good enough for the property listing.
The only problem I had with the do-it-yourself water heater replacement was the disposal of the old water heater. The trash wouldn't take it. Bulk pickup would not take it. I was told that the contractor who changed the water heater was supposed to take it. Of course there was no contractor I did it myself. I ended up getting someone to come pick it up for scrap metal.
Do it yourself - not a problem.
No permit- not a problem.
Disposal of old water heater - small problem but I worked it out.
