Adding a/c does not cause tax increase.
But new regulations since Jan. 1, 2015 state if you add a/c the glass must be low-e glass.

So you went to the Sumter County Appraiser, and now you come here? Prepare to become more confused.
Here is my take on this ... The sliders between your house and lanai are an
exterior door. Therefore you lanai is assessed as a
covered porch. If you remove the sliders then the lanai is assessed as another room in your house, thereby increasing your assessment.
