The 2 items that will raise your taxes: taking your sliders out, and getting a heating/cooling system for it
We used Custom Windows and their double pane sliding doors to enclose our West facing lanai. We use the lanai daily so we added the ductless HVAC "dehumidifier" and permanently removed the sliding doors to the house. We used LVP for the floor and regret not raising the lanai floor to be level with the house floor.
