Your enclosed lanai will not increase your property tax unless you remove the sliders between the house and the lanai.

Which we did. Our neighbor was told the same when she inquired about enclosing her lanai.

Next, we were told installing glass windows changes the status of the lanai from a porch to living space. It requires different building standards and becomes taxable! Do your due dillagence!
