They don't... even when it is in plain site. I've put two "tiny houses" on a commercial property that I rent (very visible and obvious) and 2 years later the code enforcement guy asked me about them and said I couldn't have them on the property. I showed him the local zoning ordinance for a commercial property and he didn't even want to take the effort to argue with me or go inspect them.

If I were your neighbor I't tackle the job with you. I know how to run a small gas line to your grill and it would be tested for leaks so you can sleep at night. It's much easier than you think.

This is America, the land of the free and the home of the brave. Run the line yourself.

Inspectors drive around and do spot checks, some municipalities are more aggressive than others (for example, in metro Birmingham, if you are a contractor and get a job in Mt Brook, go ahead and pull a permit because they WILL catch you)
so, an inspector driving around looking for unauthorized/unpermitted work could catch you
OR, someone could turn you in
but what OP is looking to do is so small that the odds of getting caught are miniscule

And it's my understanding that in most states when these small jobs are done by the homeowner no permit is required.
In fact I'm renovating my house right now with me doing a lot of the work myself and directing trades without a permit. No permits are required because all the work falls under me personally and I have homeowners insurance to cover any mishaps.

All of that sort of stuff has been closed for awhile. We were two days away from not closing on our house up here because they stopped all in-home inspections.

Look, worst case, you burn yourself to death, burn the house down, and kill your wife and kids. That's all we are talking about on the MOST negative end of the spectrum.
On the positive side, you get to roll your sleeves up, get a little dirty, drink some beer. What is it they eat up in Jersey? Is that burger/weenie territory? Brats? Steaks? Just think about eating that delicious weenie while your wife and kids are safely not burned to death watching.
It's win/win

I just finished my outdoor kitchen. No permit even thought of. Plumbers work for cash. Find one and get it done.

I know this is true in Alabama and Georgia
but OP is in The People's Republic of New Jersey, so it could be either way

It was true for me in GA when I lived there and it's true in LA now. But you are right about NJ. Northeast politicians are a lot more of the busybody types wanting their pound of flesh in the name of "safety".

Take this to the home and garden board where they can teach to how to be a man and run your own line.

If you aren't a true beta, get a pipe wrench, close the gas to your house from the meter, run your new line w/out being an idiot and killing your family in the process, then grill your steak!
But if you don't know how to light your water heater, I wouldn't advise that you work on an actual gas line.

You need a permit for this?
I had a plumber come and he just ran an extension. Dont think he got a permit

all you need is some pipe, teflon tape rated for gases, and soapy water. i did this exact same thing myself about 3 years ago.
