Skip the permit, they'll never know, and the work is insignificant to the house in any meaningful/dangerous type way. There's nothing electrical, water, structural about it, so who cares.
I understand where you are coming from but if it is so insignificant, why sweat the 2%?

Understand that for a $2000 project (guess-stimate on my part) we are talking about $40. If it is less than this (and by your description it sounds like it is) then why sweat it at all? This sound like not even a $1000 project and you are sweating the city asking $20?

That is hardly extortion and keeps everything nice and tidy for all future purposes.
