No permit and no inspection required where this is located cmv, That does not mean that it's not a good idea if you are really interested in Safety. Bill

This now sounds like a farm/ ranch installation. Have your quoting electricians show you Article 547 in the 2002 Code or the adopted code in your area. Personally I would recomend you have 4 wires into each building served by the on pole disconnect. The on pole disconnect is your service or should be made the service. All other panels are sub panels. This will entail more work, but IMHO be the best way. good luck.

Is this a farm or ranch? Are any livestock kept there?
If there are no other conductive pathways such as telephone wires, water piping, gas piping, and so forth that connect the separate building together than you can rewire it just as it is.
If there is any other metallic pathway between the buildings then you must run separate ground and neutral conductors.
In either case you must install a grounding electrode system at each building and use it to ground the building disconnecting means enclosure.
Your new panel would need it's main breaker in either case to serve as the building disconnecting means. -- Tom Horne

With your own confusion and inadequate description of the work, it is impossible to give you a proper answer. Your best bet is to get an official inspector there whether or not it is required and have him evaluate the situation.
