There are two Paradise Valleys. The town of Paradise Valley is an incorporated municipality with its own building department, and Phoenix has an urban village by the same name that is not this. Getting the jurisdiction right is the first step rather than a detail, because the two run different codes and different permit rules, and a contractor working from the wrong one files in the wrong place.

The Town of Paradise Valley is incorporated, sits in Maricopa County, and runs its own Building Safety Department at 6401 E Lincoln Dr. An address inside Phoenix's Paradise Valley urban village goes to Phoenix Planning and Development instead, under a different code and a different permit rule. Confirming which one an address falls in is the first step, not a detail.
The town's guidance is that "the building permit application should be used for any structure constructed or erected over 8 inches, the use of which requires a fixed location on the ground." A demolition permit is required where more than 12 linear feet of building wall or fence, or 12 square feet of roof structure, will be removed.
We could not retrieve the town's adopted code editions or any work-exempt-from-permit list, so we're not stating a window rule here. The Building Safety Department is the source that can. The town also maintains hillside development regulations and a lighting code, either of which can reach exterior work on the right property.
The first question decides which building department the job belongs to, and nothing else can be answered until it is settled.
