Requiring permits for such small things is a racket for HD and your county government. I mean, they let everyone operate a gas stove, and you could blow the house up easily doing that, if you were stupid or had no sense of smell.

You also need the county to certify the work was done properly. It amazes me that people are willing to put their lives at risk for a couple of bucks. Stove not installed right and you get a leak, you're never waking up. Geez, just pay the fee.
