Thermal expansion tank on hot water heaters are code. It is not just for closed water systems. They are 2 different tanks.

You only need permits and inspection when you post it on the Internet and you or a friend don't do it lol

Anyone have a use for 2 rheem thermostats?  It thought they were my problem but ended up being a leaky regulator.  Free

I know some townships when you sell your home the town inspector would do the co inspection and if the water heater was changed with no sticker he would make you pull a permit.
