I was a health dept inspector that focused on septic systems and a homeowner installing or repairing a cleanout would not be something we would require a permit. It would be considered a minor repair or plumbing work on the building sewer unrelated to the functionality of the disposal system–just needs to be watertight.
And the regulations in my state are some of the nations most stringent on this kind of stuff.
Depends on the state and jurisdiction.
