What is the maximum height for a cubicle panel without a building permit?

In most jurisdictions, freestanding cubicle panels under 80–84 in. (6.5–7 ft.) tall do not require a building permit, as they are classified as furniture rather than architectural construction. Panels approaching full-height (96 in.+) that connect to ceiling grid or create fire-rated enclosures may require permits and sprinkler head review. Always verify with local AHJ.
