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.
