Not true about the class designation that Sumter county puts on your install. We had this done to our lanai:
Brought the level of the floor up to the level of the houses floor,
Put electricity in the floor for media center and electric chairs. Also put electricity in outside posts.
Used double pane windows made with egas,
Laid tile down to match interior of the house,
Insulated the ceiling in the lanai,
And put a Mitsubishi split heat pump in the ceiling,
Using the Cielo thermostat to program the heat pump.
All of this it’s rated as a class 3 which means no increase in property taxes.
2 things you need to do to keep it a class 3 install: 1) keep your original doors intact, 2) put in air conditioning/heater. My Mitsubishi heat pump is classified as a dehumidifier which is the same Mitsubishi split that everybody buys but it has a dehumidifier gauge next to the unit so if it gets to humid in their, it turns on
