To all,
Double check the current requirements, Sumter County revised the building codes as of June 30th, I know, our birdcage plans went in July 1st and were rejected. Birdcage now under construction, due to be completed 1-2 days, maybe 3 depending on weather. Added 783 square feet, cost for pad, birdcage, pet screen in lower area, and 50% sunlight reducing in the roof area, electric in 4 locations in the BC, and relocation of the irrigation, ~$18,000.
There has been a LOT of discussion, information, misinformation, etc., about enclosing the lanai, the tax consequences, AC etc. My suggestion go to Sumter County building department and ask, better safe then sorry.
Hope this helps.
