Two parts here,
I want to repoint the back of my rowhome, do you have to pull permits for that?
Second I want to pull the formstone off of the front. Do I need permits for the formstone removal and the repointing. Also if anyone has any idea how much formstone removal costs it would be amazing.

Never repointed, but have been a contractor. Anything that involves a scaffold outdoors will need a permit. So if the back of your house needs a mortar refill and touch up on the second story, then yes, you'll need a permit.
A reputable contractor will pull permits for you. You shouldn't have to deal with any bureaucracy if the contractor has an mhic.
