I build a cabin on some property I owned, bought the permit, plumbed, wired and did the entire deal and no one came out from the country, state or anywhere. I did make a mistake by omitting a P trap but worked that out.

:madbox::finger: I live in far northwest OKC and had to replace one of my water heaters a few years ago. Got a plumber and he pulled a permit put in the water heater and everythings ok and working. Called in for an inspection and crickets. Like everyone one else the less to do with the guberment is a good thing so l kept waiting on the "inspector" who finally showed up at my door without any notice and "demanded" to inspect the installation ........so ok there it is. It passed and Wilber signed it off and being a smart ass l asked him why it took so long and the reply was we are busy so l said you're busy but me and my family have been at risk waiting on your sorry *****..........he got a huffy as l walked him to his truck.

Have had to replace both water heaters since then but I'm not paying for a permit (tax) to have hot water .............fukem.......

nobody just comes out.. you or your contractors are required by law to inspect.. BUT nobody does most the time.
