Permit likely required

Most likely yes. Addition or structural alteration usually requires a permit in Missouri. Confirm the specifics with Unincorporated Texas County.

Missouri has no statewide residential building code; whether a permit is required depends entirely on the city or county code that covers the address. Many rural Missouri counties have not adopted a county building code, and a county code applies only outside city limits; inside a city, the city's own code governs. County zoning (setbacks, lot coverage) can apply in some counties even where building-code enforcement does not; confirm both. There is no statewide dollar-value or size exemption from permits in Missouri.
