"Do I need a building permit ?"
IMO, ...if the public can enter that structure, then Yes,I would say that some type of permit is needed.......If,

on the other-hand, it is a seasonal display only, then

what do the Zoning regulations require ? :?:

Depends on the local laws establishing permit requirements... Looks to be less than 144 sf, the threshold in NYS.
 
I'm with JBI, locally less than 120 sf, no permit, 5' off the lot lines, closer than 5'? I'll check it this summer...........
