Sure if you have people in your area that are easy going, you might not have any issues 90% of the time.

The fact is that an ARC approval costs $0 and takes around 10 minutes to fill out. You have very little chance of not being approved so why bother not doing it? The consequences could be fairly major, like being forced to have the work removed at your expense, or making your home hard to sell down the line if there's non-ARC approved alterations that have been made.
