I use a timer & thermostat combo to control our circulator as well, and agree it does save money as the motor doesn't run when the air temp. is above freezing.
As for the annual permit, I look at it this way: 1) it's required by law, and 2) how much increased legal & financial liability could you potentially incur if someone fell through thin ice near your dock and you had no permit for the circulator? Those two factors make getting a permit each year an easy decision for me.
