Let me know if anyone else has contrary information in Sumter County.

We were told the same thing so we went ahead and enclosed the lanai (raised the floor but did not remove sliders). It added 500 sq ft to our home -- all under heat and air so it counts as home square footage for resale. T&D did the work and it is fabulous!!! Could not have spent our money any more wisely. We get to enjoy the space, with views, year-round and we added value to our home. A win-win situation!
