Bathroom renovation - Do I need a permit?

I want to renovate and expand the footprint of my existing 4x6' bathroom. I intend on knocking down 2 walls and increasing the bathroom to about 10x7 . Two different contractors asked if I am going to get a permit from the city. They mentioned that if I don't get a permit, I might have trouble selling the building in the future. questions:

1. Do I need the permit to expand the footprint?

2. If I don't get a permit, how will the city know and will I have a problem if/when I want to sell?

thanks

1. Yes.
2. If you have plans on file with the city already, they'll see that there is a size difference and then Yes, you will have a problem from the seller, if they are smart.
