I may be out to lunch. But I find that hard to believe.

Absolutely, the big ass screw piles need a pro to install them. But the ones you buy from Home Depot are meant for DIY. If there's a certified pylex installer, he's got quite the racket going. Again, I could be out to lunch.

A Pergola doesn't require a permit if its not attached to the house, and at least 1 meter from the house and less than 100sq feet.....lets say Im close to that.

If I remember, you're building a deck. Decks have much more safety and load bearing considerations, so I can understand more detail on that. Pergolas are largely decorative, and just need to be made so that they don't become airborne in a thunderstorm. Depending on design of course.
