Is a permit usually required for the plastering/replacing tile and coping?

I know it depends, but generally speaking, if you aren't making changes to the pool itself... other than refinishing... is a permit required?

I don't see why.

Here in Central Florida, our county (Seminole) requires a permit for refinishing/replastering a pool. It's a new requirement, just since January this year, so they can inspect to ensure that older pools are updated with anti-entrapment type covers on the main drain.

You are going to find this varies a great deal all over the country. The more urban the state the greater the permit requirements. Even then some only require permits for property tax tracking.

Ok, good to know. Will add it to my questions when I am calling for quotes. Thank you!
