You will need to pull a building permit. Anything attached to a structure requires inspections.

Even if it was free standing, you’re going to need drawings & specifications- which are the basis of building permits.
No one wants the liability of a structure that will be torn apart in heavy winds or falls down in 2 years after a heavy snow.
You’ll need experienced and licensed/insured contractors, who can follow a set of construction documents “blueprints”.
The Building Inspector will need to come inspect at 3 different times during this project. Foundation, framing and roofing.
Thanks for all of the info
If you are hiring another person to do any work on your property (as opposed to diy entirely) be sure that you and the builder both sign a written contract for the job before any work is commenced, and before any money changes hands.
Sample blank contracts can be found and printed out from the Internet.
If this is not done, in the event that there is any defect in the outcome of the work or if the work is not completed properly, you will have no protection. You will not be able to take the builder to small claims court, as there was no contract, and no contractual agreement.
