My work meets or exceeds code requirements, every project, every time. If I encounter anything where I don't already have relevant code committed to memory I stop what I'm doing and go look it up. How many tradesmen do you know that can say the same with a straight face? Anyway I'm fine with pulling permits and having my work inspected, I prefer it even when possible.
And "sneaking around local restrictions" can create quite the fun surprise for unsuspecting workers who need to open up walls, dig trenches, etc.
I hope you decide to play by the rules.
