Permit Needed for Reno?

I am doing some renovations on my apartment which will include- removing of wall to wall carpet, taking wood paneling from walls, repainting walls and patching areas with some plaster and drywall, installing hardwood floors, and putting a wall (from drywall)… Am I in need of permits? Also, I saw some guys doing something smart and cheap- they rented a u haul van. loaded it up with trash and took it to the dumpster. is this a good idea?

Thanks
