You don't have to submit a formal set of plans. You can just work off pretty much a sketch.
The thing is if you do that, they are much more strict with their approvals, so most people will overbuild, but many people still do it that way. When you do have plans though, the city is much more forgiving because the designer's stamp is on it, so all the responsibility falls on him instead of the city.
Yuo can even pull your own building permit without having a contractor
