These guys seem to imply taking out a non load bearing wall does not require a permit: https://remodelingdoneright.nari.org/homeowner-resources/questions-to-ask/when-do-i-need-a-permit
That implies all the electrical, flooring, ceiling, and attic work is not a factor either. Altering a load bearing wall would require permitting. That is how I've always heard it said too. It is not a great primary source, bit I don't care more than a basic search and first link I see reply either, so it is confirmation biased as such.
Yes, walls (including non-load bearing) still need to be checked for safety. While not as critical as load-bearing, they still need checks for things like proper materials, stud spacing, and that a hallway is wide enough for firefighters to get in with their equipment. Speaking of firefighters, fire blocking is also required.
I dunno what else to say here. I've done plenty of home improvement projects and have had many inspections by my city, including a basement finish (which takes framing, plumbing, electrical, HVAC...). My city even has a workshop to teach homeowners what's needed per code (at a high level) and emphasizes pulling a permit. My dad did plenty of projects in another state growing up, and all that took permits as well. So it's not like my city is just being weird.
