Plans for lighting permit

[dpb]

Has anyone been asked for plans from their building department for a permit for adding a few canless lights and fan boxes?
I went to work in a city i don't usually, went to register and pull a permit, which i don't even do much for a few lights but this one seemed like a good idea, and they said they would want plans for it. I've literally never been asked for plans in my normal work area unless it's a larger project in which case i usually already have plans im working from a GC.
Not really looking for advice as i already submitted some crappy plans i made really quick, I'm just wondering if other people are doing this all the time.

Has anyone been asked for plans

Electrical contractors must always provide a site plan, if not stamped plans in my area. Doesn't matter what they're doing.

4-canless lights require a ~$200 permit in my area, all cities follow the same Uniform Building Code 105.

Yes, I have submitted more planning docs than I thought necessary to over zealous building departments. I'm guessing you didn't really submit crappy plans, but just simple, less professional plans, and that is A-OK

You will find many differences between building departments, just keep notes on what different cities require. I have submitted hand pencil sketches for jobs like that.
