Do you need to upgrade the 100A service in your house to run power to a detached garage?

All depends on what type of equipment you are going to operate in the garage. I would suggest you call an electrician. You can connect to your existing 100 amp circuit if there is an empty spot for a breaker.

Can you install Electric meter on detached garage?
Question Needs Clarification!! If you are building a houseand you want the meter mounted on your detached garage to feed the house that is a question that your local utility or electrical inspector would hav to answer as it varies . If you want a meter on your garage that to would have to be answered by your utility as they have requirements about running service wires on residential property. they will probanly allow this as they usually charge more for having the service to a "commercial" building. The bse rate in my locality is twice that of a residential service. And even though it is your personal garage they consider it commercial in most places.

Do you need a main disconnect on the feeder wires running to a detached garage running from the box in the house?
Yes you do. The detached garage will either be fed with a single circuit or a sub panel. The wire feeding the garage will need to be protected and that is the purpose of the breaker (disconnect). The breaker size will be determined by the size of the wire that is used on this circuit.
Does an attached garage count in the square footage of your home?
No. It can be mentioned in the ad as "detached ?? sq ft garage" and you can include "?? sq ft of land" but not mislead the buyers into thinking the actual house has so much square footage when it is not.
How do you figure out percent of square footage of house?
Length x width of the interior edge of the foundation. Also, add the dimension of any attached enclosed garage in the figure. Non-enclosed or detached garage or car port do not apply.
