It is, but there's a difference between the owner maintaining the aircraft to LAMS, and the inspector deciding to do a duplicate LAMS annual at permit renewal time.
Of-course, there's much to be said for co-inciding them: i.e. asking the inspector to come along and inspect just as you're finishing the annual, then he gets a much better view of the maintenance practices on that aircraft than otherwise. But, you need a reasonably local and patient inspector for that.
