Do I need a permit or something to do some minor plumbing jobs...?

I'm thinking to purchase a plumbing tool (electric snake)

1. The need for plumbing permit varies from City to City. But most every place lets you do minor repairs or use a snake without a permit. This includes repair, replacement, or maintenance of existing accessible fixtures, parts, and appliances and their related water and drain attachments. If you are altering an existing plumbing system or replacing a water heater you probably need a permit. .
