fairly certain the answer is yes
check it out with your local planning dept
they are usually very helpful
if you go ahead without permission you could land yourself in deep trouble
it is worth the phone call or visit

The international code book that most states in the US have adopted states that you must have building permit to do additions like your conversion. However if you plan on doing the work yourself I wouldn't worry about it. Just make sure that your neighbors don't report you. I am not joking when I say that my building codes professor's neighbor reported him when he replaced his own shingles. If you plan on getting a contractor to do the work make sure that he gets the permit and posts it where it is visible from the street.

DETACHED? = INTERGRAL... IF SO, DO YOU HAVE A PEOPLE DOOR?, IF SO WOULD A PROTRUDING WINDOW UNIT BE A VIOLATION?, IF NOT, DO IT, W/O PLUMBING, & DON'T TELL ANYONE... NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS. IF YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT CODE ADD A WINDOW 3 x 5 SILL BELOW 40". PLUMBING IS A WHOLE -NUTHER GAME!

I don't think so but speak to your local council as that's where your planning application will go.

That's a question for the City. It varies depending where you live, how it's zoned, etc.
