don't think and "office" is legally any different than a "bedroom"
A "bedroom" must include a "closet", otherwise it cannot be called a "bedroom"; without a closet, it becomes an "office" or "bonus room" or perhaps "den".
Converting/building the space under the house will require a permit.
Most likely, County will require that you "upgrade" the existing construction to "meet current codes": pour some concrete, build some shear walls, maybe even replace an existing cesspool with septic (if you do something to irritate them).
