No. You need a permit to "install, alter or add to an electrical system". Changing switches and plugs, thermostats, light fixtures is not altering the "system". You don't need a permit to replace stuff that doesn't alter it's use...so light bulbs, thermostats, even new low voltage lighting etc are ok to replace without permits.
