I can't speak for Marion and Lake County but that is not true in Sumter County. In Sumter County, your taxes will only increase if you remove the sliding glass doors between the house and the now enclosed lanai. Adding AC (it still might be technically referred to as a "dehumidifier", wink, wink), typically a mini-split, will not impact your taxes.

We had double thick low E glass at our previous home. It does stop noise. Ours had a blush tint, color to it. You may object that the color does not match your other windows.
The sliders, assuming you will keep them, you will need better hardware, tracks etc.
You may find the extra weight a problem.
