Default Windows

If you use glass windows to enclose your Lanai, you have now created additional living space.Therefore, if you had a 200 S.F. Lanai, you would have been paying property taxes on that footage as a covered open porch. Once you've installed the glass windows, you've created additional living space & so it will be taxed as such.I don't know what that total is, but someone at your tax office should be able to tell you the difference per square foot. I'm almost certain that the difference in taxes is not going to be a major consideration in making your choice.
