If I own a land do I need permit for building a cabin in Chelan WA?

Hi. I am in USA just for 4 years and I am looking buying over 20 A or land in Washington and to build a cabin where I can have a small solar panel system for power, a well to pump my water for shower, and a old school outside toilet and a firewood stove for heating.
