10 years ago I replaced my water heater. The biggest challenge was the disposal of the old one. Bulk trash pickup would not take it. They said the contractor is supposed to dispose of the old one I told them it was DIY. Anyway I had to find a scrap metal person to come and get it.
A few years later when it was time to sell that house the agent pulled the permits and there was no permit for the water heater therefore the conclusion was it was an original water heater. I told her the date of the water heater installation and she updated her information on the listing. It ended up being no problem at all that it was a DIY without a permit.
