We enclosed our Lanai 4 years ago.....raised the floor and tiled to match the rest of the house, knee stucco wall with glass UV sliders all the way around, increased insulation in the ceiling. When we talked to the County they said removing the sliders would make the space part of the house and would constitute an addition. No tax increase leaving them on. The candid part of the conversation was that even if you take them off, the additional tax, in the scheme of things, would be insignificant. We didn't heat or AC and it hasn't been an issue, the sliders are left open all day but that decision should only be made based on your individual body thermostat. To get the current and correct information call or visit the County since they make the rules and assess the taxes. We used T&D based on their Villages experience and connection and knowledge of the County government. There are a lot of vendors who do the work, make sure you investigate them with Seniors Against Crime in addition to getting a long reference list with phone numbers and addresses so you can see what they do.
