Opulence

Not all enclosed lanais add to the living space...and therefore not an added tax burden. For example, acrlyic windows are treated diffferently that glass, do you have AC or not in the enclosed room.

Many people are misguided in making the decision on how to enclose by focusing on the question will the enclosure add (or not add) to my property taxes, rather than the comfort, use, safety and appearance they are trying to accomplish within budget by doing the enclosure in the first place.

Added taxes is one of many factors to consider but probably should not be the determining factor.
