Might be a little bit of a misunderstanding.
Recently in CA the big box stores won't sell certain appliances to anyone, until that person shows that they have a permit to have it installed.
The reason for that is, the contractor(s) working for the big box stores were charging for permits, but were not getting permits. This came to light when they did a job for the Building Official for the County of Ventura and he asked his guys why none of them had gone out and looked at his water heater.
To remedy this the big box stores fired their contractor(s) and pulled permits for many of the appliances that had been installed (we recieved over 700 permits) then sent a letter to the homeowners and offered them a $25 gift card if they would show that the permit had been signed off.
There's more to the story and if I can track it down, I'll post it.
